City people complaining about city things? Driving is freedom, if you can think outside of the cramped life that is a city. Ever been on a roadtrip? Doesn't have to be a car either.
Cycling is definitely more freedom than car. Don't need a license, fuel, insurance, etc. And you're not affected by traffic.
Road trips are fun, yes, but have nothing ro do with city congestion.
Again, city thinking. If you have everything closeby then a bike or walking is logical. I live rural, I get groceries weekly. Want to go somewhere? Car. Checking on family every week? Car. If I go to work, I need a car. See clients? Car.
If I had just a bike for all of this I would be in trouble because there are not enough hours in a day to make it viable.
Just one more lane bro
