That obvious detail totally kills the argument that bikes are an effective transportation tool to get to work. I can just imagine what lay people are thinking when they see Pat all sweaty like that.<br /><br />Plus, at just about 3 miles from the corner of Frankford and Master to City Hall, Pat must have been hauling to make it there in 13:20. This is why I say its important to have two riders. A fast rider (that still follows all traffic laws, BTW) and a slow, casual rider going at a relaxed 10 to 12mph. Google bike directions, that uses a 10mph riding speed in its calculations, still predicts the ride time at only 19 minutes.<br /><br />Also, next time make the driver (and cyclists) find and pay for parking. That should add a good 10 to 15 minutes for the driver and is much more realistic.Andrew J.
