Cool video. Versus a car, I don't win when commuting by bike into office, but I do WAY better than one would predict based on speed limits along the route, largely because I can bypass traffic. If only more people thought that way...and if only motorists weren't trying to kill all cyclists via their negligent driving!

They don't mention that the person that commutes by bike to work, is usually more happy and can be more productive.

Yeah, traffic is no fun. Zipping around on my bike and seeing the traffic on the interstates? Now that's fun! lol actually it's disheartening but I definitely am always thankful to not be stuck in it. The comments are a waste of time though. Any time someone starts in with "Bikes don't belong on any road..." or "Roads are for cars..." or "Bikes aren't safe to ride on the road..." their opinions are immediately discredited. So whatever they say regarding anything just means less to me...

My fave: the Topgear race across London between a speedboat, a hybrid commuter bike, a sedan, and public transpo.
