    Well, better to sit in a steel box by yourself than sitting in a steel box with a lot of other people and getting sick.

      Sitting in a steel box where someone else drives, you get to spend your time semi useful. Either by doing work, reading a book, watching Netflix or playing games.

        Yes, living in a country with a good network of big steel boxes, I sometimes also use them to get to my destination. A lot of the times they are rather full so I have to stand and stare into the air.

        But mostly I am using my metal bars on two wheels so that I am not protected from nature and reach my destination equally fast, but full of sweat. But safe from people entering my personal space and spitting their illnesses into my face.

          I think I once saw a documentary about this, where the introduction featured an average Toyota Corolla driver on their way to work… moving slower than a geriatric using a walker.
