    While the dude who pressed the button witnessed 100 able, adult people sitting in a polluting metal box instead of walking, cycling or taking public transport.

      A polluting metal death machine. I’ve had 3 acquaintances die from being hit by some driver, and in at least 2 of those cases, the driver was younger than 25 (which is the age when your brain finishes maturing and you get better impulse control).

        That 25 number is just the age they stopped that study at, not some magical number where everyone is now officially mature. The human brain continues developing through your life.

      I would love to do those instead of driving to work. Walking would take 14 hours, biking 4 hours, and the closest public transport I can get on is the same distance drive to work.

        Got a new job and my bike commute went from 2.5 hours (tried once and it sucked) to 25 minutes. Work-life balance is 100% better, even if the bike path here bites the big one.
