      In America, the problem makes alot more sense. Then again, maybe i see things through a lens. But in America, Urban Sprawl means most people cant afford to live close enough to their job to cycle.

      I didn't hear any excuses … just statements. Allow me to assist:

      My handlebars are wobbly.

      I saw a weather report for potential hail.

      There's a strange noise coming from the gears.

      I can't find my water bottle.

      I might have a meeting later and don't want to be sweaty.

      The pollen count is high today, and I have allergies.

      My front light is out of batteries.

      I have a video call first thing in the morning.

      The cat hid one of my cycling gloves.

      I need to make an important phone call during my commute.

      I'm expecting an important delivery I can't miss.

      My favorite podcast released a new episode I want to listen to.

      I'm worried about getting a sunburn.

      I'm not feeling mentally prepared.

      I'm conserving energy for a workout later.

      My knee is acting up when I pedal.

      I'm supposed to be resting my eyes from wind exposure.

      There's a possibility of a thunderstorm.

      The bike rack at work is always full.

      I'm participating in a carpooling initiative.

      My neighbor complained about the noise of my bike early in the morning.

      I'm still perfecting my route to include more scenic views.

      I have a side stitch that won't go away.

      I'm dog-sitting, and the dog gets anxious when I leave with the bike.

      I'm conserving my bike's mileage for a long weekend ride.

      I've been advised to vary my routine for security reasons.

      My horoscope advised against operating pedals today.

      I'm conducting an experiment on public transport efficiency.

      I'm coordinating my cycling days with my workout partner, who's unavailable.

      My tire pump is broken, and my tires feel a bit low.

      I've heard reports of aggressive squirrels in the park.

      I'm letting my body acclimate to the daylight savings time change.

      I'm waiting for a friend to join me on the ride, and they canceled.

      My cycling sunglasses have a scratch, and it's distracting.

      I'm taking a rest day in my training schedule.

      I'm due for a physical and want to discuss cycling with my doctor first.

      I'm mentoring a new employee and need to arrive together for training.

      I do cycle to work. To make me more comfortable, i drop my stuff like my cloths in my workplace. So i still cycling with my cycling cloths and take a shower after reach my workplace

    7. @riff_master on

      I want to cycle to work but its 19 miles away followed by a 12 hour shift then 19 miles back. And no shower or washing facilities. And i work in cold enviroment so wet with sweat nah.

    8. @drippiehippie on

      I work as a mechanic at a car dealership and ride my bike to work everyday, year round. In the warmer months a few of the other mechanics who live close will also bike to work. Sometimes half of the shop shows up without a car

    15. @Yes----- on

      as much as I would enjoy cycling to work, it's along a 6 mile stroad, and as soon as I get out of work I would have to walk home due to my bike having been stolen, along with the post I locked it to

    19. @WhaJMc on

      Between home and work it's less than 15 minutes on a bike. Twenty minutes plus in the car during rush hour. By bus it's over an hour with a bus change. I never bus, sometimes drive and cycle to work as much as possible.
