commuting until you get reasonable distances to commute.


No offense intended. But that statement is not exactly a revelation. I
commuted via bicycle for a few years. It made sense for me because 1.
I had no other choice. And 2. It was 2 miles to work via not too
heavily traveled roads.


Throughout my life time, there has been various reasons for comnmuting by
bicycle. These were/are;
First reason for commuting by bicycle; it was that or walk.
Second reason for commuting by bicycle; it was quicker than the multiple
public transport services.
Third reason for commuting by bicycle; it was cheaper than buying and
maintaining a car.
Fourth reason for commuting by bicycle; it is cheaper to run and maintain
than a motor vehicle.
Fifth reason that comes to mind; it can be exercise whilst commuting and
only fools drive a car and go to gyms for there "exercise". Saves time
and money.


+100!

Cheers
