    Yo, my dad stayed biking to work and looks like a whole different person after only a few months, it’s legit

      I did it for a few years. I only stopped because I switched jobs after COVID and my new commute is more than twice as long.

      I highly recommend it, and the main reason I’d switch jobs is to go back to cycling to work.

        I live 20 minutes of highway from my job, which is in an industrial area with absolutely no pedestrian infrastructure.

        Feels bad man.

          Yup, same for me, but 30 min and my company is at the top of a big hill.

          Feels bad. I might give it a try because there’s a train that’ll take me halfway there, but that hill isn’t going anywhere…

                Oh I thought you were worried about the hill. I do 40 minutes myself and prefer it over any other option

                  It’s just that it’s 25 miles away, so even with an ebike, it would be quite a long ride (probably 2hr w/o ebike).

            But think about the speed you’d get on the way home!

            Also I grew up on a bluff, I had to go down a big hill and back up twice every day. After a summer of going it I was powering straight up a monster hill every day. It’s daunting for a few weeks though.
