40 minutes is a long ride, true. Maybe buy a foldable bike or a bike rack for your car, park your car outside of the city and reduce car traffic by riding from there to your workplace by bike? It sure would make this city a better place.
That sounds reasonable maybe I will start doing that.
You'll also keep fit and you won't have to spend time stuck in traffic!
I like this kind of scheme, it should be promoted more maybe if it's not being pushed much
40 minutes is a warm up, not a long ride.
It is if you have to do it twice every single day. Going to work shouldn't take longer than 20 minutes.
No it's not, I used to cycle 1 hour one way without any issues. Every day. Including during cold European winters in -20. 40 minutes is nothing special.
