My car hasn't really been safe to drive so I've been walking to work (about 1-1.5 miles) for over a week, I actually really am starting to like it. I notice I wake up earlier and by the time I get to work I am much more awake and generally "happy"

I work 20 miles away and that's by expressway. Not a chance I'd bike or walk that daily.

I've walked to the grocery store and pharmacy before, though. They're both less than a mile away.

Work is 50 miles away. It would take me half the day to get there. There are a lot of coolies (big hills and valleys) between here and there...

Never even though both my work and school are like within 5 miles of my house, there are no roads that are safe enough to ride a bike on.

Drivers around here are assholes to cyclists.

It's not reasonable for me to, so never. One worksite is 20 miles away and the other is 115 miles away.

my school is 20 miles away, job will be considerably closer, but down one hill, through the city I live in, and up the other hill, it's like 8 miles if I take the freeway, 10 if I have to take side streets.

the way the town is designed here its not bike friendly.

there are only two access roads connecting my little town to our neighbor town.

both are clover leaf designs crossing a 4 lane high way.

so while you may live like a few blocks from work or whatever, you are forced to share the road with oilfield frack trucks and other big rigs,if you want to ride a bike, otherwise you drive.

I work across the Mississippi and bikes aren't allowed on any of the bridges close enough for me to bother with. Plus just in order to get to the bridges I'd have to ride along the freeway- which is illegal.

It takes maybe 3-5 minutes longer to walk to work than drive... but the only time I want to walk is during the summer... and it's free parking then plain

I commute to work & class by motorcycle 9x2 times a week. It is said that because of having to be hyper aware while riding a motorcycle, that is supposedly good for your brain.

Here never, simply too far away and the weather would rarely be cooperative enough.

When I lived in Holland I went everywhere by bike.

Well yes...because if you're not hyper aware while riding a motorcycle, you'll probably end up dead a whole lot sooner...which definitely isn't good for your brain tongue

I ride my bike to work every chance I get, usually when the temperature is above 40 degrees and there is no rain or snow.

But then again, my bike has a 1450cc engine on it.

I work 40 miles away, but on nice days I'll park about 7 miles outside the city and bike the rest of the way.

I live 3/4 of a mile from work. I never walk...why would I?

I am green, because I live close to work. I conserve energy because I bought a house close to work. My carbon footprint is smaller than most...

Never. It's 15 miles from my house to where I work, and the best way to get there is the freeway.

Google estimates an hour 40 min to bike to work. Screw that.

I'm healthy enough. happy
