When I lived in Orlando in either 2012 or 2013, there was a guy that lived in Apopka and it took him 2.5 hours each way to get to work in East Orlando using public transportation. He legit spent 5 hours of his day commuting for about a year while he was having some financial troubles and his car wasn’t working.
Otherwise, that’s typically around 30 minutes in a car.
There’s going to be some psychopaths no matter what (I have a buddy with permanent injuries from an intentional hit-and-run on his bike) but the bigger problems there are poorly designed roads, improper bike lanes, and lack of enforcement for distracted driving. Empathy doesn’t resolve infrastructure failures.
If people did better in terms of voting, we’d have better designed cities and less drivers. Stop blaming the victims you contentious prick. Bikes also cost money. Something that a lot of people in the south do not have.
Do people typically live that close to where they work though? All my coworkers live out of town, 30 min to 2 hours away by car.
That sounds like it has an easy solution.
If you’re suggesting mass transit, it’s double the time if available.
Double is generous.

Sounds like he should’ve just biked tbh
You should have a little empathy instead of blind car-hate.
If car drivers had empathy there wouldn’t be a fourth as many bike deaths every year.

Empathy for car drivers has nothing to do with that.

Every day in Chicago I see hundreds of people needlessly driving when we have the infrastructure. It’s an individuals problem too.
Bikes are dirt cheap. Lol. Would easily pay for itself in saved gas money from the stupid trucks southern people drive
Yea… not in 95 degree heat and 70+ % humidity. He didn’t have a shower at the office.
Cut the ac and it solves that issue
The solution is to make everyone uncomfortably hot and sweaty?
Stupid counter points deserve stupid responses.
Dumbest comment I’ve read in weeks. Congrats!

I’m suggesting not buying 2 hours from place of work.
That would be most ideal but that’s not how things usually work.
Weakest excuse ever.
What’s that?
