Jaded said:Taking your last point simplistically there will be two reasons why people cannot cycle to work. 1) They have chosen to live too far away for their capabilities and 2) they are disabled in some way.
The former can be resolved by individuals considering where they work and live and here the latter is often resolved with disabled parking facilities.
With the greatest of respect, if you believe people drive to work for those 2 reasons alone, that is being extremely simplistic -and very naive. Do you have a family? Do you need to travel for your job? Do you need other bulky equipment for your job? What about your dress code? Do you have shower facilities at your work? If you can't cycle is your local public transportation schedule workable? Have you been transferred to a different branch temporarily?
I do cycle to work (well, actually mostly half-cycle commute because of other scheduling issues) but I do appreciate some people just cannot do this for various reasons or find it extremely impractical (granted, many more people could).
