    I’m always envious of people who have access to this in the places where they live.

    I live in my country’s second best bikeable city and it leaves A LOT to be desired; but I used to live on the best bikeable city and that taught me that there’s much to be desired for bikeable cities in the United States.

        it’s not that we prefer to; it’s that we’re forced to when our governments refuse to fund public transportation.

        oddly enough; in this country; only the wealthy or privileged have access to public transportation whose benefits are competitive with driving.

          Yeah I live here but I think you are only partially right. I was at a mall back in the day with some friends and we all decided to see a movie. They all literally drove across the parking lot rather than walk.

          I live in the suburbs and despite riding my bike a lot, I simply couldn’t get by without a car.
