For me, a bike was the fastest way to get around campus, and practically cost me nothing as a broke student ๐Ÿ˜…

From there I ended up going on progressively longer rides for leisure, getting to know how long I can ride before running out of steam. Now I'm pretty comfortable commuting by bike - for longer distances though I tend to take public transport

I bike commute in warmer parts of the year, and catch the bus in winter. It takes about 45 minutes by bike, about 30-40 by bus, and the bike route is nicer than the bus or car route

I started for health reasons, but really got motivated when the bus system went crap, I could at the time go by bus in 1 hr 14 minutes or by bike in an hour flat. I can't beat the bus anymore, since they've become much faster not than me
