The pandemic opened the eyes of many to the benefits of running or cycling to work – or “active commutes” – and some have kept up the habit.

No longer content with long drives or boring train rides, commuters have been seeking ways to make their journeys more productive and enjoyable.

    Is enjoying the view not doing something? It’s not really something you get to do nor appreciate if you’re driving yourself.

        Hey, I appreciate the view of a concrete wall as it wizzes past you, every once in a while is a door even!

        Yeah definitely not doing that underground, so yeah fair point in those cases haha.

      Well, if it’s a regular commute, you’ll soon have seen everything there is to see…

        I’ve been taking the same route twice a day for the past 3 years.

        No less interesting so far.

        Actually, I am so weird I have the whole route recorded on my phone (from the window) like 4 times, and yes, I did watch it at home numerous times, in real time without skipping. Just like a movie.

        No, it does not get boring.

        Eh, people watching is always new, the scenes change depending on the sun and weather. Flowers don’t bloom forever. Lots to keep the view unique everyday.
