This man commutes by Brompton and rowboat from suburban NJ into Manhattan: https://newyork.cbslocal.com/2018/06/27/rowboat-commute-into-nyc/.

“My usual commute is riding the bike from Leonia to Chelsea area,” he said. “That takes about an hour… With the boat it takes about two and a half or three (hours). If you leave your house in the morning and your goal is to just get to work, that means you’re already at work.”

In the morning he’ll use the current to take him downtown at about 3 miles an hour. Since the Hudson River’s current reverses in the afternoon, he also uses it for his trip home. This journey is not about speed...

That's really cool. I'm going to start passing off my rides as default mode network.
