    With trains, you don’t arrive sweaty, you can’t get run down by cars, and someone else parks it

      I ride a bike to work every day. I’m never sweaty. The infrastructure to cycle exists so I won’t get run over by cars.

        Teach me the non-sweaty ways. I love my bike, but theres no way I can arrive not sweaty. Before you say go slow, I’m not letting no bus take my god-damn glory.

          An Ebike is extremely helpful, especially if there are hills. Wear a breathable long sleeve SPF shirt. I like hemp and some of the stuff Colombia makes. If your route is safe enough don’t wear a helmet. Shorts and sandals are also helpful. I’ve had some success with lightweight merino clothes as well but they tend to get holey in a few years of frequent use

        You can also do this thing called walking. Although I am aware that in the United States that is considered suspicious behavior.

            The public transit isn’t that great where I live by European standards. I use a Brompton folding bike to make up the difference. It’s great for trains
