What about those of us who are disabled?  What about the people who
have to travel distances like 60 miles there and back?  I did in my
last job.  Cycling is wonderful and so is public transport but it's
not alway practicable.  Certainly not here in the UK where buses and
trains are simply not reliable.  Unless employers make massive leeway
for people getting into work late because of public transport
deficiencies.  Somehow I don't see that happening.
