[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I would need affordable housing and better schools in DC to live near enough to my job to bike.[/b] For metro: I suppose I could drive and park at the metro and then metro to work - but that would take longer than driving and cost more than gas (I get free parking at work). [/quote] +1 to the bolded. I just looked up my bike commute from my suburban house to my office- shortest route was over an hour. I also SWEAT (I very much envy those who don't!) so that would mean more time when I get there to shower/dry hair/change. Frankly, I'm not a confident cyclist anyway- I learned to ride on wide, traffic-free suburban streets in the midwest. There isn't a route where I could take only separate bike paths. I do park at the closest metro and metro in because my employer subsidizes metro fare so it is cheaper, but also more efficient, than driving/parking. In the past (when I lived/worked elsewhere) I commuted by bus.[/quote]
