You're talking about push bikes right? I thought you meant motor bikes and was like WTF after looking at your list?


Yeah bicycles. Motorcycles are annoying haha.



The only drawback for bikes is low speed and limited carrying capacity. Also I can't use it to drive to work because we don't have a shower there and I would stink up the place and be sweaty all day.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

As someone who does not care for cars I always wondered what's manly about making a machine do your work.
If riding a bike is the pussy way of running, then driving a car is the pussy way of riding a bike.

I don't know if this is the manly part about cars or not but I get a nice tingly sensation in my stomach when I get an adrenaline rush and my balls also shrivel a little bit when I push the throttle comfortably in my seat.

So the same feeling you get with a vibrating buttplug.

Let me tell you this - going 30MPH riding down a hill on a bike is a FAR better adrenaline rush than a car (unless it's like a Ferrari or something of course) and feels better. I just rode 10 miles on my bike and I feel so great right now.



Perhaps No.4 is true in America where your roads are twice as wide... but riding a bike here in the UK you are more likely to be in a crash, and (obviously) far more likely to be injured in a crash.

Also not sure what you mean by No.7, unless it's just about being more productive if you are healthier. The rest though is probably true.



While your on your bike in the snow, rain, hail, thunder, extreme heat, wind, etc. Il be in my car, thinking I would hate to be That cyclist.
