Kelowna's Commuter Stats Dull, But Full of Hope

November 30, 2017By Jeremy west

Okanagan's Business page "Okanagan Edge" just released stats on Kelowna traffic. Here are some highlights and why we're hopeful.

Commutes are shorter than national average

"Across the country, people spent an average of of 26.2 minutes travelling to their workplace last year. That’s almost a minute longer than it was five years ago.

In Kelowna, however, commute times are significantly lower. Here, commuters spent an average of 19.8 minutes commuting to work."

- With a shorter commute to work, this leaves us with a higher probability to commute by bike right? 20 minutes in traffic in Kelowna is probably equal to a 20 minute commute by bike.

Commute by bike small but higher than national average

"A relatively small proportion of Kelowna residents also commute by active transportation, like bicycles. The 7.2 per cent of active transport commuters here is more than the national average, which sits at 6.9 per cent."

Conclusion

With a high hope that Kelowna can continue to grow it's "bike to work" community, We here at 6AM are happy that we're creating breathable dress shirts to remove the negative barriers associated with biking to work. One simple change at a time can lead to a greener community and healthier future.

Why Buy a 6AM?

At 6AM WorkShirts, we know you are the kind of person who wakes up every morning ready to work has hard as you can. You get after it EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. You're a professional, and in order to present yourself as a professional, you need to feel confident.

The problem is normal dress shirts punish you for working hard. They are designed for stationary office jobs, not high paced environments. This makes you feel extremely uncomfortable as soon as you sweat, and this kills your confidence.

We believe that sweat is natural, and that we can work with it. Fabric technology exists to deal with sweat appropriately. These fabrics are developed year over year to gain even the slightest edge in sport, so why not put them into a dress shirt?

We understand what it’s like working hard in a high-paced, professional environment. That’s why we added a sweat-wicking, odor-resistant fabric into the sides of our dress shirts. Here’s how it works: 2 fabrics, 1 shirt. Simple as that. A sweat-wicking, anti-odor, 4 way stretch fabric on the sides to keep you feeling fresh, and a spill resistant and wrinkle resistant material on the front, back and sleeves to keep you looking crisp and sharp from sunrise to sunset.

So go ahead and reward yourself for all of the hard work you've done. Buy your first 6AM WorkShirts today, so you can stop stressing when you sweat, and start feeling confident no matter how hot and humid it may be while you’re out there hustling. If you decide don't like it within the first 30 days, we'll give you your money back!
