I love cars and I love driving but commuting by car just sucks in every possible way.
invest in good headphones then
Canβt sing along at the top of my lungs though, which is the only place I can because the walls of my apartment are too thin.
Driving to and from places is way more relaxing than being on transit imo. Transit has always been significantly more stressful for me and never lines up with when I need to use it.
For me it's the other way around. Public transit is more relaxing since I can just sit down and relax and don't have to deal with all these idiots that drive like they have to arrive at their destination half an hour ago.
People like you admitting driving is relaxing is why I find car-centric places stressful. You are driving a 2 ton heavy machinery. You should be stressed and alert.
Stressed means you make more mistakes. Calm and collected, as well as relaxed is the better way to drive. Youβre less likely to make mistakes or poor decisions when relaxed.
Stressed drivers are dangerous and unpredictable.
Sure, those are the only two options.
If only there was something with two wheels
My workplace provides showers and lockers for staff who sweat on their way to work.
I can leave my smelly cycling gear in my locker and change into the work clothes I carried in, and wear the shoes I leave at work in the locker
Oh no, not bodily functions!
And you're scared of change
38 miles on a bike is nothing lol
I know someone with asthma that does farther than that for fun
No. Sometimes on their way to work since it only takes a few hours to go 40ish miles.
One becomes faster as one cycles more
LOL
Y'all need some better headphones
Depends on your cars sound system
I feel you. But I'd rather reserve this for when I want to drive and don't have to.
