With everyone complaining about the cold weather, I can't help thinking that we are only about 2 months away from sweating as soon as we step outside (at least for me). Hopefully we'll get a few nice days in between.

Big mistake. Here auto rules supreme. Outside of downtown, every arterial has at least two lanes in each direction, with speed limit often set at 50mph, but sometimes 55mph. The traffic lights all have super long dynamic cycles which makes timing lights close to impossible and long waits every time you get stuck. Everything is so spread out, my ride length for doing regular things like getting to work or visiting a friend often end up being 25 miles each way. There are freeways everywhere and very few through routes. So most of my riding is either on major roads, or on bike paths right next to freeways. Given the plethora of studies about the negative health impacts of living within 500ft or even 1000ft of freeways or major roads, I'm basically killing myself by riding.<br /><br />Then there is public transit. Most buses come every half hour with winding routes and stops every block. If you happen to live in a trolly line and work on it too, you can get by, but mostly it sucks.<br /><br />Right now I'm asking myself, if I can get to places in 40 minutes at rush hour by car, but takes 1:40 by bike or bus, why don't I just give in to car culture and buy one? Or I could just say fuck no to cars and move back to Seattle.BPsuckshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01660910951548071411noreply@blogger.com
