      I love sitting by myself in a steel box waiting for every other steel box to move 2 miles in 1.5 hours traffic congestion my favorite

        Well, better to sit in a steel box by yourself than sitting in a steel box with a lot of other people and getting sick.

          Sitting in a steel box where someone else drives, you get to spend your time semi useful. Either by doing work, reading a book, watching Netflix or playing games.

            Yes, living in a country with a good network of big steel boxes, I sometimes also use them to get to my destination. A lot of the times they are rather full so I have to stand and stare into the air.

            But mostly I am using my metal bars on two wheels so that I am not protected from nature and reach my destination equally fast, but full of sweat. But safe from people entering my personal space and spitting their illnesses into my face.

        You can walk faster than that.

              I actually in reality live in a really good place for walking and cycling, but I do understand the pain in the ass that is traffic congestion and “just add more lanes, man” mentality.
