You’re out there by yourself in this little tiny boat. Yeah. Out there on the sprawling Hudson River, the most peaceful part of his incredible 12mile trek from his home in New Jersey to his office at Google in Manhattan. Where did you buy this boat? Uh, I did not buy this boat. I bought the plans to build this boat and my son and I spent a few months in the summer putting it together. With all due respect, it looks a little flimsy. It’s lightweight and foldable yet also floats. Foldable is key. And Tommy’s got it down. And the other side. He folds his foldable boat. Next, he unfolds his foldable bike. Then he bikes the boat to the dock where he refolds his bike and unfolds his boat. And faster than you can say origami, he’s on the river. Do your co-workers think that you’re completely nuts? They haven’t said it to my face, but I maybe then again, maybe they’re just jealous. Look at that traffic. Here we go. Getting anywhere in an automobile, it’s just not a pleasant experience. And then I have to worry, where do I put this car when I get to work? You can’t fold it up. No, I can’t fold it up. Can you see what would drive somebody to actually build his own boat to get to work? If that person was sitting in traffic and pounding on on on the dashboard, screaming out the window, I’m mad as hell. I can’t take it anymore. And then an idea pops up. I’ll build a boat.

I only walked six blocks to my park Ave South job in the mid 90s, and the job wasn't worth that effort then.
Work smart, not hard.
HEY THAT IS COOL…❤❤❤
I love this, but I wonder what happens in a storm, or in winter? It would be very cold on the water in January.
How sweaty must he be?
Definitely has a blow up doll
Paddling that thing 12 miles? Hard to believe.
dude! enjoy every moment of this!
That has to take a couple hours

No problem the national guard can't solve, right Trumpers?
No life jacket, a water rescue waiting to happen. If hes lucky.
Tech guys are smart AF!
I bet his pockets fat
Wonder what he uses in the winter months…
Genius idea. Starts his day with a clear mind. Only sucks if it rains

Love that (my son and i built it.)
This man will outlive us all 😂
Awesome
What's he do in the winter during a North easter
Go get it dude! Keep being awesome
Great father🎉
How does he go 12 miles upriver against the current after a long workday?
I wish this was more common in place like New York and the Bay Area
He folds his boat, unfolds his bike, bikes his boat, folds his bike, unfolds his boat and boats his bike.
Brilliant!
Awesome 👍
What brand of boat is he using?
I would do it , it look amazing 👏, the traffic is terrible.
Sad she had to do the story.
Since she is know for not telling the truth and editing out facts, makes me wonder, what she left out..
