Would you rather teleport?

Cycling is mainly a lifestyle choice. Why would some rather teleport. Beggars belief.

I'm walking rather than cycling at the moment, but the commute is a bit of my own time between work and the hecticness of two small kids. A 'buffer' as they call it on the poster.

Although recently I've been commuting by car between Sheffield and Manchester and even that's been nice. Four hours a day of getting to listen to whatever I want, music or radio, I haven't had that luxury for a long time.

On one hand, I agree. The commute gives me free exercise, as in it doesn't take me any longer than driving would. I am also getting some brain re-set time, and setting a good example to my little one by using my bike daily.

On the other hand, as pointed out, if I was teleporting, I don't need to live where I am, and could live somewhere else. So I guess I would teleport to a location about 7 miles from my office, where I would keep my bike, and then cycle in the rest?

Teleport all day every day.

Would still cycle uniquely for leisure purposes.

I would like to teleport me and the bike to somewhere nice

Can I just teleport to from the bottom to the top of the hills?

That's called an up-lift

I think actually moving somewhere more remote and then teleporting in is a bit outside the scope of the survey...

Why? It’s the logical conclusion of what teleporting gives you. It’d remove all the pressure on population in certain areas, it’d dump house prices right down. Companies would also gain all sorts of benefits from a logistical point of view.

Forget next day delivery, beam that bike part to me now!

The problem with that is that I feel we get most of the fitness benefits from hills as we put in the most effort. If we just teleported up them then the rest of our cycling and health would suffer as our fitness dropped.

But the hills are hard, my fitness can't really get much lower tbf.

Look at the tweet. 35 would rather teleport

Indeed but democracy rules does it not?

I would like to be able to teleport. The device would have to be large enough transport both my bike and I. Then I would cycle in every country in the world - wherever it is summer at the time

In Star Trek, wasn't there always a limit on the numbers that could teleport at the same time?

Supposing whilst teleporting, you got mixed up with one or more who were in the system at the same time.

So your Shimano becomes Campagnolo...

You could end up with parts of you in the bike.

Sounds like a coach’s dream, “Become one with the bike!”
