That sounds fantastic! Thankfully I am a remote worker, but I would love to bike to do everything I can't do at home. I seem to be in a very car-centric area, but they are expanding bike lanes.
I try really really hard to make sure where I live and work makes this possible. I only apply to apartments near bike infrastructure, I only apply to jobs within biking distance… this apartment was a compromise with my partner, so it feels like a gift from the universe to have bike lanes extended to our house.
As long as you try sometimes to bike, you’ll make yourself visible and I have faith that makes a difference. Your city council person might see a bunch of bikes some morning and choose to vote in favor of more. Baby steps :)
