Isn’t that obvious?
I live in Germany and cycle about 14 kilometers to work. Often when I get to my desk, I think “that was such a joyful ride through the wood / along the river!”.
I had never a coworker (or my partner) when they were using their car heard saying something like “this was such a wonderful morning commute through the city”.
It did, so I left America. Now I live somewhere that prioritizes human-scale design, pedestrian safety, bike infrastructure, and public transit. Most days, I walk anywhere I need to go (supermarket, pharmacy, restaurants, shopping).
Where’s that?
The Netherlands
Do they have tech jobs there?
Yes. I was allowed in under a highly skilled migrant visa to work a tech job.
I’m so glad that Imperial Beach is installing protected bike lanes on some of the roads. Hopefully they will continue.
Road rage incidents rise with number of lanes.
