Pros / cons of riding a bike?
Pros / cons of riding a bike?
apparently my city literally literally banned public rail funding, and people online love jerking off about how good biking is, so i figured might as well try. I have come up with:
pros:
- good for mental health / exercise / endorphins
 - arguably quaint
 - feel like an old timey guy taking his wares to market
 - feel european
 - can annoy others
 - less of a police state around them vs cars
 - more flexible parking, routes
 - capacity to be peaceful
 - nice in summer
 
cons:
- look like an annoying dork (esp w neon - which also hurts the quaint factor)
 - have to wear a helmet (^)
 - getting sweaty, potentially "unpresentable" for work
 - still have to find safe parking
 - still takes a while
 - have to find new routes to places
 - can't listen to music or might die
 - little meaningful protection against severe injury
 - can only carry so many groceries/etc
 - sucks in winter
