I'm glad I don't live where I have to walk around in traffic.

Posted by JaxSean (aka JaxSean) Aug 27 '13, 07:23

Walking around places like Boston while on vacation is stressful enough. I couldn't imagine it all the time.

I get in my car in front of my house, drive to work and walk 20 feet to the door.

My survival skills have certainly sharpened since I began walking. California 'burbs are not pedestrian friendly. - Meg Aug 27, 08:10
I bike 5.5 miles each way from/to the train station and work, down a long country road with not much shoulder. By law, I can take the lane, and - landbeck Aug 27, 07:38 14

  - oh god me too. i will walk anywhere, but biking on the roads here seems like suicide. -- nm - Andie Aug 27, 08:01 2
    - It's a real problem here, although activists seem to be making a difference, and bike lanes are spreading -- nm - con_carne Aug 27, 08:08

  - Haha. I love riding in the city. It's like the most dangerous obstacle course in the U.S. :-) - Krusty Aug 27, 07:46
  - I thought about taking a Citibike to run some errands when I was staying over one night. - znufrii Aug 27, 07:44 4

    - Pussy. - Krusty Aug 27, 07:47
- I yell a lot, but keep it to single words. "Shoulder!" when they take the corner and drift onto the shoulder. - landbeck Aug 27, 07:41
- We have about 1 hit bicycle in the news every week here. I wouldn't do it for anything. -- nm - Bacon Aug 27, 07:40 1
  - Also many of them hit and runs so you don't even get the car isnurance to help pay for the medical expenses. - Bacon Aug 27, 07:41
- True. Bike vs car, you lose. -- nm - JaxSean Aug 27, 07:39

- I also hate going to places where you have to pay to park. (So downtown here.) - JaxSean Aug 27, 07:42
- I read a recent report that said that taking the train to work was significantly less stressful than driving to work. - Krusty Aug 27, 07:31 3

    - I get it with your parents on the vacation but the train would make it much less work for you. - Krusty Aug 27, 07:37 1
      - Also, I'm not anti-driving. I just haven't found a need for a car yet. I like cars, actually I love them. I know more about them than most - Krusty Aug 27, 07:40
Driving is it's own stress though. It's not like you get in and the car does all the work. There are more aholes on the road for you to deal with - Krusty Aug 27, 07:26 4
- True, but I like the feeling of being in control. (I hate being a passenger, too.) -- nm - JaxSean Aug 27, 07:38 2
  - I get that completely. My point was that driving is more stressful than walking in a big city. -- nm - Krusty Aug 27, 07:41 1
    - I find driving not stressful at all. (We have very little traffic here.) -- nm - JaxSean Aug 27, 07:44
- *its* -- nm - Krusty Aug 27, 07:26
Walking in traffic should be stressful. Get on the sidewalk, idiot. -- nm - ty97 Aug 27, 07:25
