      If it’s two minutes do you need to be driving? That seems like a walk or bike

          I drop off kids and pick them up every day. By bike. There’s really no excuse for driving in a city.

            I mean there are plenty of reasons. Some seasons it rains everyday here. Get off your high bike.

              I bike every day, rain or snow. It gets to -20C in Montreal during the winter. You just need to dress right.

                Ok but you said “there’s no excuse for driving in a city”. There are a million excuses. You’re obviously not disabled, but many people are. You’re obviously younger, but many people are older. You are obviously okay with the cold. Many people are not.

                Why don’t you try imagining biking to work in 50°C heat, with a bad knee and a migraine? Plus asthma or anxiety, your choice. Also, put your kid and some groceries on the bike and see how easy it is.
