>>1991477I live in the Houston area and walk to work.
I can do it because it's about a mile or so away and just takes 20-25 minutes one-way.
Since the summer is coming back I'll start bringing a towel with me to wipe down. It's definitely doable if you at least change shirts in the restroom (nobody should know what's going on around your crotch).
The primary barrier if you're physically fit is simply time, and how much of it you're willing to sacrifice to walk or bike rather than drive. You might want to add buffers to account for the time you'll need/want to freshen up on-site. I've biked to the grocery store and other places and, despite the apparent stereotypes of Texas drivers, most people are relatively sane/ethical and actually don't want to kill you. Just be extra cautious near the highway intersections or avoid them entirely, if possible.
>>1991631Austin is rough due to how hilly it is. I've seen bike lanes at such steep inclines there that I wonder if any brave soul has actually used them. Houston is a shithole, but at least biking is easy on the body because everything is as flat as a Japanese cartoon girl.
I'm glad you got to escape the brown hordes in minority-White Texas and enjoy Maine's Whitetopia. If only all of us could be so lucky.
