BUS vs BICYCLE – a true story
Yesterday, i had to take the bus from Putney to Picadilly. I wrote this on the way:
“Its hot, I’m sweaty and this bus isn’t even moving. I feel like a fly caught in an upturned glass, in direct sunlight. Why all this when I can be free, cool, feel the breeze and be moving instead of stuck in a cloud of diesel fumes?
All I can see ahead of me is traffic and as I sit here, still and sweaty, cyclists are cruising past me, making their way to where they want to be – with cool dignity and gentle grace.
I’m sat here, squashed into the wall by a friendly but large lady, and for entertainment I have people talking on their phones loud enough to make you question whether they even need a phone to be heard by the person they’re talking to.“
Perhaps I am alone in thinking this slower, sweatier, costlier and aggravating form of transport is the less good option – but I doubt it.
Which would you rather be doing?
