I can commute by foot (which takes slightly over an hour), by bike (which takes 20 mins but leaves me noticeably sweaty), or by scooter which takes 20 mins and has no downsides. In practice, if I can't scoot then I drive a car because wasting 80+ mins a day or arriving everywhere sweaty just doesn't cut it for me. Buying a scooter has revolutionised my commute.
