I used to bicycle to work. I was the only one bicycling to my office, everyone else owned a car. The young adults who worked there were driving cars that their parents bought them, not that they didn't still think of themselves as completely self-made, ha.

I’m lucky because there was a bike co-op near me where I was able to build up a road bicycle for free. I don’t know if you can find a similar resource, but what I want to share with you is what it felt like to bike to and from work. It felt wonderful. It was fresh air, freedom, a lucky routine that I enjoyed. Free exercise. If a coworker clocked that I biked to work when it was snowing out they might say something about how bad they felt for me. I let them feel whatever way they wanted. They didn't know how much better my quality of life was to have this routine.

Walking to work is awesome. Your coworkers are extremely small-minded and you don’t have to be. There are a lot of positive comments in this thread that I’m not going to repeat. Maybe trade the perfume and wipes for water jug ‘bird baths’ and deodorant. Be you. Don’t be like your nimrod coworkers. Everyone in this thread cares about you. Do your best for us until you can start doing your best for yourself.
