After several job moves, my current commute along the same corridor is 6 miles in 30 minutes, with about 7 minutes stuck at red lights! On one hand, very consistent. On the other hand, not longer from increased bicycle traffic. Also, by car at peak rush can be 40 minutes, but as low as 15 minutes <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/BikeNite" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BikeNite</a>

It would also be hilarious and awesome if there was a cyclist holding a white cane, to show how low vision people can ride, though a cane is probably not a practical or ergonomic option while cycling and I have personally never used my cane while biking. 🚴🧑‍🦯

I usually bike to work, and it usually takes me about 15 minutes. I can get it down to 11 if I ride faster and get lucky with traffic lights. Sometimes I take the VTA bus and it takes 20 minutes because I want to get to the stop a few minutes early, and the bus gets stuck in traffic. I’ve walked a couple times, and it took about 50 minutes.

And I usually don’t do them inline like this, as it can be hard to read. FWIW, I don’t use a lot of hashtags in one post because to my eye it’s too noisy and cuts number of characters devoted to the meat of the post. (500 character limit on my instance.)<a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/BikeNite" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BikeNite</a>

I have a very specific and odd one. In our <a href="https://mstdn.ca/@CyclingGuide" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@CyclingGuide</a> mobile app we show permanently-installed bike parking facilities. The City of Kitchener has a wonderful bike valet service that they set up at various festivals and other events around the city. This year we’re working with the city to show those temporary facilities in our app, to making it even easier for people to cycle to events. 😀🚴‍♂️<a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/BikeNite" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BikeNite</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/WaterlooRegion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WaterlooRegion</a>

It’s heartening to see.I’ve been working from home since the start of the pandemic! 😀But my wife and I did choose to live where we do so that we’d be walking distance to many amenities.

Few ebikes need more than 0.5-1kWh battery, so saving even 20% on $200-300 battery isn't that significant vs any added weight.
