    Ride a bike for a 38 mile round trip every single day to another city and back when there is no bike lane connecting said cities?

    Bikes just aren’t viable for anybody who sweats like a bitch.

      My workplace provides showers and lockers for staff who sweat on their way to work.

      I can leave my smelly cycling gear in my locker and change into the work clothes I carried in, and wear the shoes I leave at work in the locker

                Yeah for fun, on a Saturday. Not every single day for a 9 to 5. You would have to be certifiably insane.

                  No. Sometimes on their way to work since it only takes a few hours to go 40ish miles.

                    It would take me 4 hours in total every single day. Absolutely zero chance.

                    Plus no way I’m going to work covered in sweat every day. I have a duty to look presentable.
