You'll never have a critical mass of bike commuters because it is hugely impractical for office workers. I wish they would invest more in public transit.[/quote]

e-bikes are the game changer you are looking for[/quote]

I'd still be sweaty when I got to the office. No thx[/quote]

Have you ever ridden an e-bike? It’s no more strenuous than getting in and out of your car.[/quote]

With a helmet on in August?  Not going to happen for most professionals.  [/quote]

A lot of professionals I know have no issues donning a helmet in August or any other time of the year. Those professionals who feel the need to showcase all their success by haute couture and six figure rides are a different matter, of course.[/quote]

I work in a 500 person law firm and can count on one hand how many people bike to work. Sometimes on one finger.  Progressives have this weird tendency to try to make other people disbelieve what they can see to be true with their own eyes.  [/quote]

Nice anecdata. I work in a building with a couple of thousands professionals. Bikes outnumber cars most months in the parking garage.[/quote]

“I reject your anecdata, and hereby substitute my own anecdata!

Very credible 😏[/quote]

Respectfully, that’s the point. No one’s anecdata is credible. Making unverifiable claims based on personal observations is a very dumb way to make a point, yet is the dominant methodology embraced by the velophobes in this forum.[/quote]
