Burke usually. Gotta do more than one up and down to make the haul worth it. I'm carless and have time/riding is a priority. Night lights and good clothes are key, especially in winter, but even then I'm fully packless (frame bag life).
I used to take transit, but COVID shut that down and I discovered that riding was the same time anyways. Fitness caught up quick even though I ride a desk for my day job. There's a few other car-free care-free people I met over the course the season, which was a really pleasant upside to an otherwise disaster of a year. Join us.
It's really satisfying to ride from home. If you can deal with the tire and drivetrain wear it's well worth it.
