Ride safe, bro. I used to have the same situation and mitigated the danger somewhat by sticking to neighborhood streets and avoided the stroads. Made the commute a little longer, but worth it.
That’s what I do for the most part, however part of the commute is on an overpass over a highway. The city had a “bike lane” put in last year, but all they did to make it “safe” was to close one of the lanes of traffic for the duration of only the overpass. And when I say “close” what I really mean is they painted it green with a little white bicycle in the middle.
So the traffic for cars goes from 4 lanes to 3 lanes, then immediately back to four lanes. In reality people just refuse to recognize it as a bike lane and attempt to run me over the side of the overpass while angrily honking.
I would prob ride to work everyday if it wasn’t for that particular overpass. Now I only ride on days I get up early enough to beat most of the morning traffic.
Do you have a recommendation? I’ve always been somewhat fascinated by mindlessly putting out some watts while sitting here. Would be even cooler to capture that energy somehow.
Only used one, and that’s a fitdesk under the desk cycle. I’ve had it for close to a decade and my only complaint is something inside makes weird noises as I pedal, so I’d call that a recommendation.
It doesn’t capture the energy or anything, just something to burn adhd energy.
I work out in the morning but by cycling to work, we are not the same.
I live close enough to bike to work, but in a city where multiple people on bikes are purposely struck by drivers every year.

Same!
Well, actually I cycle at work.
On my under the desk cycle.

Awesome, thanks. These seem reasonably priced, but will need to find an EU equiv
This is the way!
