Making the Cold Commute More Bearable
I live in the city and I don’t have access to a car, which suits me fine because everywhere I need to go is fairly close to my apartment. My office is about 10 blocks away, and it’s a nice walk when it’s warm out. However, when it’s cold, that 25 minute commute is brutal. There isn’t a bus stop near my house and cabs can be expensive so I have no choice but to walk. The other day, the temperature got down to about 10 degrees, and I almost froze to death on my way to work. When someone whizzed by me on an electric bike scooter, I suddenly had a brilliant idea. I could probably get to work in a matter of minutes on an electric scooter and it would make my commute much more bearable in the winter months. A grown woman in a suit and heels riding on a electric scooter might look strange but if it keeps me warm, I don’t care what people think!
