Bicycle commuting is close competition with personal car

Commuting is generally perceived with amount of time required to complete it. Shorter time is generally perceived as better commuting option. Though this is quantitative assessment, one should also consider other aspects as well. With changing environment, carbon footprint is frequently talked of. In that personal car has highest carbon footprint. When it comes to road footprint, meaning the road space occupied, personal car is still the front runner. And then there is stress/anxiety footprint. With jammed roads and limited parking space, using personal cars for commuting one has to plan and face the situation.

spiritedpedal, fares equally well as walking on footprint front, and still manages to have slightly higher commuting time than car. This is possible because of power boost the rider gets, increasing average speeds during ride, quicker acceleration and fewer gear changes.

Thus it makes it possible to dump the car for better and sustainable way of moving around.
