I like travelling by bike, but i am not the biggest fan of doing roundtrips, i much prefer moving further and further away. So on longer trips i will end up way far from home, and since travelling by train across Europe, can be a real ordeal (especially with a bike), i sometimes take a plane back home. I guess busses would be an option too from some locations, i personally absolutely hate travelling by bus though. Weak excuse i know.
I am able to rationalize to myself that it is ok to take that flight, i spent now weeks doing low impact travel and can end it with a boom and still probably had less impact then with my regular life at home (i have not really done the calculation tbh). Of course, if it is reasonably easy to get home by train i will definitely prefer that, and i absolutely don’t always end up taking a plane.
What are your thoughts on this? Do you ever take a flight?
That take would certainly sooth my conciousness, but aren’t all bookable flights “already happening”? Unless nobody would book it? TBF i book my flights back last minute, because i usually cycle with loose plans and don’t even necessarily know beforehand where i will be going home from, so those flights would absolutely happen no matter if i booked it i guess.
Yeah I was going to say try to book last minute if you’re worried about that first part haha… but to be fair, airplane routes are canceled all the time because nobody uses them so that’s a good thing? I don’t know haha I think I’ve flown twice in my life so I’m probably not the best person to ask
