Detroit SMART bus can take bicycles, so the ride is either 2x12 or 8+12.
I used to ride 2x12 miles in London and it was quicker than transit (Tube).
Detroit has a good not-for-profit bike hub.
21 miles each way would be a long walk. It would almost be like doing back to back marathons.
If it was 21 miles total in a day... It would be tough, and could still take 4 hours a day of quite brisk walking.
OH....

it is up to $227,000.(went up by a grand while I was typing this message).

Let's see.
$5,000 for a nice car.
$20,000 for lifetime maintenance on said car.
$20,000 for lifetime fuel for said car.
Does the guy even have a driver's license?
Perhaps one should collect enough to buy a limo, and hire a limo driver full-time... to take him to a minimum wage job.
How much longer until he can buy a house in Florida, and live the rest of his life on the beach?
