My former boss once challenged me to ride my bike across our main local highway to go get us some pizza. He said if I could accomplish that and get back in less than 4 minutes, he’d pay for it.

Then he told the other coworkers to watch as I did exactly that. 3 minutes 53 seconds later, and I was back with a fresh hot pizza.

For comparison, it would probably take like 15 minutes in a car, having to stop at red lights and waiting at the drive through and all that good fun traffic shit.

Disclaimer: When I ride my bike, I don’t obey any traffic signs, I’ll ride straight through the median if that’s the shortest/safest path. Whichever way is quicker, safer, easier, IDGAF.
