When Every Day is Bike to Work Day
I would need to ride my e-bike for more than 10 years to and from work—including all the additional related activities—before it would catch up with commuting with my car for 1 year.
Bike to Work Day is an annual event, held on various days in the spring across the United States, Canada, Europe, Asia and other places, that promotes commuting to work by bicycle. But for me, every day is Bike to Work Day, so I thought I would share my experiences.
When I was in college, I didn’t care much about material things. Yet over the years, I allowed consumer culture to creep in. My values slowly changed such that only a few years ago I thought owning a high-end SUV built by one of the German auto manufacturers was a goal worth striving for, a kind of status symbol of achievement.
When I started working for thinkstep, what I came to value shifted dramatically again.
