It's 16km (10 miles) to my job interview today. Should I drive or bike?

Advantages and disadvantages.

going on bike might make you sweaty, on the other hand it shows initiative and sportyness, important free points in most job interviews.

I'd go that distance on bike myself, I like it, because it's fast and no fuss.
Relax, you can die if you mess up, but it will probably not be by bullet.

Drive, and give yourself an extra 15-20 minutes. You want to be sure you get there on time. Nothing worse than missing an interview or being late.

what is the temp? will you be sweating, if not bike it, better for the earth..



Today's high is 23°C, or about 73°F. Probably not enough to make me sweat more than a little on the forehead unless there are a lot of hills.

Do wear a helmet. A helmet is the difference between a slight concussion and nothing at all if you're knocked over by a car.

I know what I'm talking about.

I'm psycho when it comes to being on time. I'm usually half an hour early to anything important, and I just hang out at the nearest cafe so they don't realize I'm that early ;)

Drive. You need to make the best impression possible, and by biking, you run the chances of messing things up. Messy hair due to wind, sweaty (as others have mentioned). Take no chances...drive it.

When you get the job...then bike it :)

What goes up, must come DOWN!!!

depends -

1 - how 'professional' is the job? is it suit and tie, or fast food?
2 - are they impressed by you riding?
3 - is the job at a bike shop? health club?
4 - etc

you figure it out, don't be late, don't look like a slob as a result unless that's beneficial to getting hired....

...
Driving is a one dimensional activity - a monkey can do it - being proud of your driving abilities is like being proud of being able to put on pants

I can't decide.



Ride a bike, wear a good helmet and if you see a parked cop car, "accidentally" fall into the car and bust the window. If and when they come and talk to you, just say, "Sorry, but I guess it was a good thing I was wearing my helmet." :D
Some people refrain from beating a dead horse. Personally, I find a myriad of entertainment value when beating it until it becomes a horse-smoothie.

Hmm. Whenever I bike anywhere I start to sweat, even when it's 55F out. I guess I'm not good at regulating my power output.

For me it really depends. If I have airflow and I keep moving, I'll be fine. It's when it's hot and I'm barely moving that I'll start to sweat.



I'm gonna drive it, just because I wanna take a nap before I go :D
