{Adel} Two wheels quicker than four

But if you consider the time between the alarm going off and starting
work, does it make any difference if you shower at home before you
leave, or at work after you arrive?

I find that the shower at work is quicker, no wandering around the
house, distracted by the TV radio etc.

Your carpets must be in a terrible state if you are wandering around
the house while showering.

The plumbing setup has to be interesting though.

The only way it would be relevant is if you wouldn't shower
before driving to work and I don't knwo anyone who does that.


Puts hand up cautiously. I shower before I go to bed, not in the morning. I
find it wakes me up.


I'm confused. The shower wakes you up so you have one before you go to bed?

I was already awake then. I find I can't go to bed without having a shower.
Why would I need one in the morning? No, don't answer that.

You have a portable shower at home?

I was thinking of the way these stunts always start at the same time.

Cripes how novel and unusual - leaving for work at the same time. Isn't
that placing the completing transport modes on a equal footing to gauge
travel times?

BUt everyone's busy saying that the time taken from off bike to desk
doesn't matter, because the car driver is doing the same things just
at the other end of the trip.

If the travel times are to be compared then all the time involved in
choosing that transport should be. So the bike rider has to leave
shower-and-change-time earlier.

Else they are not on equal footing.

Fair enough, but then the motorist and public transport user have to factor
in the time that they take to shower and dress before they leave the house.

Bed to desk time is what should be measured.
Motorcycles move quicker through traffic but, by the time the motorcyclist
gets moving after getting his or her gear on, the car driver has a two
minute lead.

Not if they are done while behind the wheel. Mostly avoided at peak
hour due to the audience.

You haven't been watching lately have you....

- who has seen worse than that in cars at lights. Too scared to
watch what's happening in the moving ones!

After you factor in all the time spent earning money to pay for the
vehicle (min ~$150/wk post tax) the car driver is a day behind to start
with.

This one is interesting. However, for most, they spend the same amount
of time at work whether they have a car or not. I guess the true time
benefit you could realise by not owning a car would be if you chose
to earn a lower salary, and work only 4 days a week.
