Did he follow all traffic laws? Not passing on the right, not running lights/stop signs, etc?

Nothing personal – just still boggled seeing people commuting 60 miles out of cities, sitting in traffic and fouling the air that used to be rural, on their way out to their little subdivided ranchettes. Glad to hear you’re taking the train/bus/stagecoach.

Hi Joe, nice to meet you as well. Been a bike commuter since 1985, but commute almost exclusive by public transportation now.

Maybe if a “clean-up tax” was added to the retail price of petroleum fuels those “unusually long commutes” – and a million tons of smog – would suddenly disappear.

For me, transit+bike vs solo driving takes about the same amount of time, and both beat cycling buy a long shot but I have an unusually long commute.
