A Toyota makes you dumb; a bicycle makes you smart

snip I guess the less SUVing and the more biking the better, but few, very few people are that lucky to have a choice. And those who are brave enough to do it on the road --FOR PRACTICAL PURPOSES-- deserve a medal. It sounds like a COMMUNISM in reverse, where they force you drive instead of ride. There is some of that. My wife used to ride, but she often has to go out in the field at short notice and there are no company cars to use so you have to have your own vehicle. She could ride home and get the car on those occasions, but it's not something she does. And of course her staff is forced to drive because they could not bicycle to their field sites with all their equipment. I've been on the road to work and gotten a call about an off-site meeting too far to bicycle to, and that required carrying equipment. I turned around and rode home and got the car. But I think the instances of being forced to drive are pretty rare, unless the job involves going out in the field a lot. |
