Itā€™s a great plan if you intend to live the entirety of your life within a 15 mile radius of your house!

GENIUS! šŸ¤Æ

Just because you use a bike once does not mean you are forbidden from using cars. If you have to go further, you can still take a shared/rented car or your own, if noone lives around you.

Every time I see this kind of post I just wish they would try to go to work in a +40 degree Celsius environment.

It must be nice to work in a place that wonā€™t mind if you arrive drenched in sweat.

Edit: I love the hive mind

Have you considered, that different places need different infrastructure?

I might also remark, that your houses are utterly unprepared for the -5C where Iā€™m at currently, but that would be stupid.

The Japanese used bikes to defeat the British in Singapore. The Vietnamese used bikes to defeat the Americans in Vietnam. The Chinese used bikes to destroy manufacturing in the west.

Iā€™ll be in the cold cold ground before I use some stupid commie machine powered by rice.

All other arguments for not using a bike are stupid.

With trains, you donā€™t arrive sweaty, you canā€™t get run down by cars, and someone else parks it

I ride a bike to work every day. Iā€™m never sweaty. The infrastructure to cycle exists so I wonā€™t get run over by cars.

Hills are only the problem if youā€™re not biking regularly. Iā€™m way out of shape, but after a year on living in a country with good infrastructure, hills arenā€™t a problem for me anymore, really. But first couple of months it was a bit brutal, for sure.

Teach me the non-sweaty ways. I love my bike, but theres no way I can arrive not sweaty. Before you say go slow, Iā€™m not letting no bus take my god-damn glory.

An Ebike is extremely helpful, especially if there are hills. Wear a breathable long sleeve SPF shirt. I like hemp and some of the stuff Colombia makes. If your route is safe enough donā€™t wear a helmet. Shorts and sandals are also helpful. Iā€™ve had some success with lightweight merino clothes as well but they tend to get holey in a few years of frequent use
