I live in the southern part of India - Hyderabad. I got myself a bicycle for office commute, a year ago! against all the discouraging people :)
It was a conscious decision to not to have any alternate means of transport of my own, so that I would not find any excuses to skip.
Advantages:
- Will keep one fit and thereby enhances the confidence in oneself.
- Being an aerobic exercise, it's good for heart.
- Of course Nature friendly!
- I get a chance to fuel myself with fresh coconut water instead of fueling the motor.
- Less maintenance - For the entire year I hardly spent 500 rupees on maintenance! Ever calculated the fuel charges, service charges, pollution checks and insurances for your motor vehicle??
- Economical - Commute expenses are Zero. 50% of the commute expenses I spend on coconut water. The rest accrued for the last 1 year, will be equal to the cost of bike, maintenance and the accessories, all together. So I got my bicycle for free ;)
Ideas to overcome the sweat and the weight of the laptop:
- Take a shower in office.
- Carry the office attire along, everyday or dump it at workplace once in a while to get ready after shower.
- If you carry the laptop to your home and back, it would be heavier on the back. Check If you can get a out of warranty loaner laptop along with the regular laptop to use at both places without having to carry while commuting.
Disadvantages?
I found this link interesting! But on a sarcastic note ;)
