This morning I was going to drive to my breakfast meeting because it was early and it was cold. But I was running behind, and Waze was telling me it was going to take 27 minutes. So I hopped on my bike instead and got there in 14 minutes (with very cold hands, I might add).
This myth that cyclists are cycling because they have no other options has to be put to rest. I'll let you in on the secret - cycling is a first choice, because it's much faster, easier to park, and super enjoyable to be out and about in the city, as part of a commute.
Many of us, when we get on our bikes, are leaving our cars at home.
