if you rode a bicycle, you’d be home by now


The Freeway Ride I on Channel 4 News from RichToTheIE on Vimeo.

Looks like I-40 between RTP and Raleigh, doesn’t it? That’s because Raleigh has some of the worst commuting traffic in the country. Reader Dave Wofford notes, “I bet Raleigh doesn’t tout being on this list.”

 

The perfect commute is easy, inexpensive and reliable.

In cities boasting such factors, like Buffalo, N.Y., Salt Lake City and Milwaukee, the trip to work is a breeze. But for commuters in Atlanta, Detroit and Miami, the daily grind is just that, thanks to bad traffic, insufficient infrastructure and drivers who resist carpools and public transportation.

Other spots that came out on top include Oklahoma City, Okla., Pittsburgh, Corpus Christi, Texas, and Eugene, Ore. At the bottom: Orlando, Fla., Dallas, Birmingham, Ala., and Raleigh, N.C.

Thanks to Dale and Tino for the heads up on the video set. The Crimanimalz vimeo channel has more.

    I don’t know… I don’t have an answer, but I think a worthy pursuit in life is to ask questions the answers to which cannot be Googled. It’s often useful just to articulate the problem, and that may be all we can do. — Phillip Barron "Doping scandals spoiling the spirit of sports"
