When I lived in Orlando in either 2012 or 2013, there was a guy that lived in Apopka and it took him 2.5 hours each way to get to work in East Orlando using public transportation. He legit spent 5 hours of his day commuting for about a year while he was having some financial troubles and his car wasn’t working.
Otherwise, that’s typically around 30 minutes in a car.
There’s going to be some psychopaths no matter what (I have a buddy with permanent injuries from an intentional hit-and-run on his bike) but the bigger problems there are poorly designed roads, improper bike lanes, and lack of enforcement for distracted driving. Empathy doesn’t resolve infrastructure failures.
If people did better in terms of voting, we’d have better designed cities and less drivers. Stop blaming the victims you contentious prick. Bikes also cost money. Something that a lot of people in the south do not have.
Never been to Atlanta, Charlotte, Jacksonville, Tampa, or any city in the south huh?
You’re pretty much who my comment was about. My comment wasn’t in response to a picture, it was in response to uninformed people.
There’s a TON of people in the south that cannot escape for financial reasons. They’d much rather not have to drive everywhere. I’m 100% against victim shaming, which is what I took SwingingTheLamp’s comment to be.
The image is of a dense urban area though, not some southern bumfuck town
Do people typically live that close to where they work though? All my coworkers live out of town, 30 min to 2 hours away by car.
That sounds like it has an easy solution.
If you’re suggesting mass transit, it’s double the time if available.
Double is generous.

Sounds like he should’ve just biked tbh
Yea… not in 95 degree heat and 70+ % humidity. He didn’t have a shower at the office.
Cut the ac and it solves that issue
The solution is to make everyone uncomfortably hot and sweaty?
Dumbest comment I’ve read in weeks. Congrats!
You should have a little empathy instead of blind car-hate.
If car drivers had empathy there wouldn’t be a fourth as many bike deaths every year.

I’m suggesting not buying 2 hours from place of work.
That would be most ideal but that’s not how things usually work.
Weakest excuse ever.
What’s that?
