Reply to comment by twolfe0 in Why is 28 the most dysfunctional road ever designed? by sudosudoku

fair enough. as far as biking is concerned, i'd have to leave 5 or 6 hours before work to make it on time, and public transport doesn't exist in the beautiful countryside

You’ll be in awesome shape with all that riding!

I know that's a joke, but to pedant - with 12 hours of daily travel time + 8 work that leaves 4 hours. Assume an hour to eat/wind down/shower that's 3 hours of sleep a day - definitely awful for you.

I'm sorry I'm like this.

Not to be pedantic but they have to be exaggerating. Unless they live in like Templeton but then they probably wouldn't be complaining about a 40 minute commute by car

I feel like 40 minutes is just the margin of error for route 28. A friend of mine once referred to it as his favorite 20 to 50 minutes of the day.

Ya idk where they live but I'm just saying they would have to live faaarrr out to be a 6 hr bike ride.

If you asked me how long it would take me to bike to RIDC park from Greenfield I wouldn't be able to give you a time-deterministic answer because I feel like the question doesn't have a valid Euclidean answer, tbh.

I see what you're saying but typing that route into Google maps shows a few options around an hour. My point is I just doubt they live six hours away from downtown by bike.

I plopped in a route and I'm with you right until we get to the Highland Park bridge. I drove on that for years, I would rather break my legs and go on disability that have to bike to work on that bridge every day.

Six hours is definitely too high, I'll grant you that.

Just remember that your taxes that you're supposedly paying for road maintenance don't go anywhere near enough to paying for the roads you're using! Your "beautiful countryside" living is subsidized by people living in cities.
