>>1976807>16km That's too far to commute daily by bike. I have done such a commute before and agree that it sucks.
<5km is a good bike commute.
You could walk to work in an hour. By bicycle it may take 15 minutes. You can do it when you are tired, or have been drinking, and it will de-stress you. With parking and traffic it can probably be faster than driving.
That is also easily within the distance most people can have to all amenities, shops, schools, etc.
If you have a shit bike you can walk it up hills.
>>1973144>Why is /n/ so against bicycles as a form of commuting?Cycling is too often viewed as a slower, sweatier version of driving.
Instead we have to think of it as a faster, easier version of walking, one which can carry your gear, clothes, and groceries for you.
People who live further away need consider living on a good arterial bike path, using public transport, or using an e-bike.
