    There’s this weird perception issue that I’ve noticed while driving. A car is able to cover so much distance so quickly that even small delays in time can equal a huge loss in distance.

    Not that it really matters though because having to wait 30 seconds for a bicycle just means that you’ve lost 30 seconds. The amount of distance you have to make up is irrelevant, you’re still only 30 seconds behind where you would have been.

    And in any case, those same people will get to the parking lot and will circle around for minutes looking for the perfect spot closest to the front doors so they don’t need to waste time walking.
