This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Bikes are awesome. I would love to experience the joy of waking up in the morning and riding a bike to work. No traffic, healthy and all that good shit. I live, however, 40min away from my work by car and 3 hours by bike, one way. I dont see this changing in the foreseeable future so my idea of freedom has to be something different.

In Europe this would likely be 30 mins commute on a train if you work in any sizable city. And you can take your bike on the train and finish the rest of the commute on the bike.

I did this but rented a bike in the city to drive to my work. The bike was only €15/month and paid by my employer.

Sadly North American public transit has been an afterthought for decades. Our urban planning has been stupid beyond belief too. It's only quite recently that this has begun to change.
