Comment on Being poor is expensive
fuck_u_spez_in_particular@lemmy.world 1 week agoI don’t know your distance for commuting. But I consider the bicycle the most superior form of commuting for distances below 10 miles(16km) (personally would even cycle more than double that).
It’s even cheaper, keeps you healthy and often is even faster than a car, considering parking, traffic lights/jams etc… I also enjoy doing that so another advantage.

Dependant on location
Eh highly depends on geography
In a more mountine town ive lived in with a bike you can be very fast downslope
Upslope?
20 min for 2km and you will be sweaty as hell at the end
10 and sweaty as hell if you are fit

Yeah plus most jobs don’t like you showing up dripping and smelling like a varsity locker room.
My locale even tried to build in employee showers to encourage bike commuting, but it hits 110⁰F outside and there’s not a cloud in the sky LOL you gotta be kidding.

I can recommend a cooling west for these cases. They are quite effective on the bicycle (moving air enhances the effect). I usually don’t care much about a little bit of sweat, I just turn the ventilation on max then at my office. We even have a shower, but never used it… I think sweat is overrated and often an excuse to not cycle…
