Matt Marx, 41, an assistant professor at the MIT Sloan School of Management, reworked his commute from Westwood.
I had been a doctoral student at Harvard, which isn’t too bad to drive to, but the stretch from the Allston tolls to MIT added a half-hour in rush-hour traffic. I couldn’t drive that every day.
I started driving to the commuter rail to take the train, but it cost $5 a day to park. So I bought a bike to ride to the train station. After a couple of months, the bike had paid for itself. I was excited, because I’m pretty cheap.
