The amount of car brain in people is insane. I used to live in an apartment literally two buildings down from my work. Could see it from my window. My roommate still drove every single day. Dude lived in the gym so not like he couldn't do the walk

Honestly I'm so glad I started biking to my high school all those years ago, it conditioned me to view biking as a natural solution for my daily commutes.

And how many of the cars in this photo are going to sit in this same traffic to the gym after work (and try to get the closest parking spot)? If 10 - 20% of them were able to and chose to bike or walk, it would be a more pleasant experience for everyone.
