Default Let's Here What Jobs Let You Ride During Your Work Day

I spent the last 15 years in the same central office as a student discipline supervisor for a school system, until I realized one day that I could do my job better if I rotated to various schools and worked remotely from the school offices. My boss thought it was a good idea to get me out in the field working with principals, observing students and staff, boots on the ground kind of thing. It's hard for me to believe, but now I get paid to travel on my bike to a few schools per day, several times per week. I only wish I had realized this years ago.

So it got me thinking, I wonder who else out there is lucky to be able to ride during their workday--not just to and from work, but actually during work.

It would be cool if some of you will realize sooner than I did that riding might fit into your work day as well.

Hear*
I don't work anymore because of disability but when I worked for google I was able to log out of work whenever I wanted and go do whatever. As long as I got my min of 27 hours a week they didnt care my hours.
Was nice to be able to get bored, log out, and go play games. Wish I had a bike back then lol.

I’ve worked 100% remote since fall ‘22. As long as I tell my boss I’ll be gone for an hour, I can ride whenever I want.
