This week, I spent 3.5 hours traveling 35 km. It was round trip, because the trains stopped traveling in my original direction and I had to go home. Three weeks ago, I spent six hours traveling less than 80 km.

I could literally bicycle faster. I’d be okay with a hole in the floor as long as they mounted a seat on it for handicapped riders.
