Because my bike works fine. And is more fun.

Anyone else hate when they feel "forced" to use the car?

How long does 5 km take to bike? Would you go in winter too?

I ask BC I live about 5-10 min from a papa johns, but I would need some kind of extra large insulated grubhub backpack.

Not OP, but depending on a variety of factors – rights of way, hills, carless paths – my local bike nexus that can get me anywhere in the city takes about 12 minutes to ride to. It's six km.

It's very nice, there are few stops, so it's a fairly easy place to get to.

About maybe 15-20 minutes, and I'm in California so winter isn't comparable to British Columbia at all. Probably the greatest weather hazard would be rain, but it'd be fairly easy to cover a pizza box.

If it did come to it, I would just get exactly one of those insulated pizza bags, assuming it fits the pizza in buying.
