“Instead of focusing on how slow I am compared to automobiles, I try to concentrate on how fast I am compared to pedestrians. Even at a comfortable pace, the bicycle multiplies a pedestrian’s speed and reach by a factor of four”
I have to say, in Tel Aviv, where my option is walking or the bus, I completely subscribe to this idea. When I was in LA, I end up competing with cars and think about how much longer it takes to bike.
Biking allows us to either slow down, or speed up, depending on our starting point.
