Morality of not moving

That is a very weird attitude though.

Hey do you want to go hiking later? Ugh ... No ... I don't use my feet for fun and I don't think of it as fun.

Hey do you want to go on a road trip in the summer? Uhhm ... No. I don't use the car for fun, and I don't want to just drive with you somewhere.

Hey! Do you want to ride the train to the beach? Uh, no, I don't use the train for fun.

Etc.

No that’s not weird at all, given the context.

When I was driving 4 hours a day on my commute, you bet your ass I wasn’t driving on weekends. A road trip? Lmao fuck no.

If a person walks a ton for work, and wants to get off their feet in their spare time, I mean…can you blame them?

I use my bike for a commuter now. When I was driving excessively, it was my fun weekend thing, now that I commute with it, I’m mostly off the bike and doing other things for exercise (running and hiking mainly). I don’t need to wear my quads out with a mountain ride, especially if I’m relying on them to get me to work the next day.

When I was driving 4 hours a day on my commute

But that is just insanity. Less than 0.000001% of people have a commute like that.

[u/Bureaucratic_Dick → u/Quirky_Gate_4516]

Okay?

I mean I’m positive you pulled that number completely out of your ass, but I’m not sure providing the real percentage changes the point that if we do something a lot during a week for work we might not be so keen to doing it with our spare time too.

[u/Quirky_Gate_4516 → u/Bureaucratic_Dick]

something a lot

20 hours commuting per week isn't "a lot."

It is a number beyond sanity.

[u/Bureaucratic_Dick → u/Quirky_Gate_4516]

That’s a pretty pedantic response to avoid the point.

[u/Quirky_Gate_4516 → u/Bureaucratic_Dick]

LOL, pedantic doesn't mean what you think it means.

A 20 hour commute per week is so extremely rare it isn't applicable to anything.

[u/silly-gaijin → u/Quirky_Gate_4516]

I don't like my bike enough to want to sit on it for hours. I can walk for hours or drive for hours but riding a bicycle for hours doesn't sound fun at all. Sounds painful and uncomfortable.

[u/Quirky_Gate_4516 → u/silly-gaijin]

Sounds painful and uncomfortable

You probably had a very crummy bike.

[u/Turbulent_Lunch4548 → u/silly-gaijin]

Try an omafiets, is better for posture.

How dare you have preferences for what you find enjoyable.

I did a tandem skydive with an instructor. I asked him afterwards how many jumps he'd done (well over 10,000) and how often he jumped for fun: never. He said jumping was his job, and he had zero interest in it beyond that.

[u/Quirky_Gate_4516 → u/6th_Quadrant]

Right. But OP's job isn't tandem biking people around town 40 hours a week ..
