    My drive is 35 minutes, but all 55-60mph, so like 30 miles. I’m not biking that, it’s not even safe on these roads, no shoulders.

      Same. 30 minute drive depending on traffic. 20 miles. Biking would be suicide. Already news stories almost daily about either a pedestrian or cyclist (pedal or motor) getting hit. Last time I looked, bus would take 3.5-4 hours. Yes, hours.

      I totally get the fuck cars movement. And there are lots of valid points to it. But it’s also not a realistic option for a lot of people due to the current lack of alternatives and how public transportation is viewed as taboo.
