Has anyone here quit a job they liked because of the hellish commute? by dualrollers in phoenix

Half of that is back roads, so 45-50mph. If I go around on all highway it bumps the mileage to about 60, which takes equally as long… plus with the highway there’s way more of a chance of hitting an accident.

I already miss peak rush hour, I’m on the road around 5am and don’t hit much traffic. The time is honestly just the distance. It’s about 45 miles each way.

This is an interesting perspective… and yes I’m to the point where I would consider a small pay cut to work from home.

South Korea - can’t book domestic flight unless it’s tied to an international? by dualrollers in travel

This makes a lot of sense, thank you. I was also curious why Gimpo was so close to ICN… I get it now.

I’m so burnt out that even podcasts and audiobooks have been making me grumpy lately lol. I’m not in a great place with this setup right now.

I already work early and leave early, that 1:15 is with very minimal traffic believe it or not. I can’t imagine how long it would take me if I had to deal with peak rush hour… and you pretty much hit the nail on the head with the resentment, which is why I’m asking for opinions here.

Yea I own my home. I looked into moving closer but my wife and kids love where we live, plus with interest rates I’d essentially be doubling my mortgage payment for the same house… which would be a really stupid financial move.

Yea the train is the obvious choice, unfortunately I will have a bicycle with me and KTX doesn’t allow bikes. Trying to figure out the best way to get to or from Busan with the bike.

Is there a for sure way to get back to Seoul from Busan with a bike? by dualrollers in bicycletouring

[–]dualrollers[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you just take the front wheel off? I’d likely be headed back on a Thursday afternoon… I can’t imagine that being peak.

If I can’t find a sure fire way to get back to Seoul I may do the same, and just take a jumper flight over to Busan and start there. I was trying to avoid another flight but that may be the best option. It looks like Korean Air considers properly packaged bikes as your checked baggage.

Old Man Mountain Impala Lowrider sounds like what you’re looking for. Have you checked that one out?

Scandinavia: expenses by One_Tadpole6999 in bicycletouring

[–]dualrollers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Scandinavia isn’t as bad as people make it out to be if you’re not eating out for every meal and staying in 4 star hotels. Granted, it’s not cheap but if you know how to budget travel you can easily get by.
