Another cool thing you can do is own a car and a bicycle at the same time! Sometimes, when I lived in the city, I would ride my bike when I felt like it, and drive my car on other occasions! You can even get really crazy and use your car to take your bicycle to new and exciting places! Yeah!

I plan to live forever, of course, but barring that I'd settle for a couple thousand years. Even 500 would be pretty nice.

I dunno man I just mount a rocket on my bike when I need some extra thrust. I have a high-energy laser in the front which vaporizes anything that gets in my way.

I have a trek bike that is a road bike like in the op- large skinny tires and good gearing, only with straight handlebars like a mountain bike. It's great I can sit upright and look over cars or crouch and go fast, good bike choice also my penis is nine inches long this is unrelated to bikes

I also have one of these which turns your bike into an exercise bike, which is surprisingly intense workout and I sweat all over my kitchen, good cardio also as previously stated my penis is nine inches long, that is the length d two iPhone 4s's lengthwise for a penis visual, I like pretty girls

take out all street parking, turn it into bike lanes. go loving park in a garage, drivers get all pissy if the city even dares take out one street parking spot to put a bus stop or parklet in

Bikes or footpaths, take your pick.

They should put retractable spikes at traffic lights that blow your tires and make you face plant when you blow though a red like a fuckwit.

That's because it's socialism, if poor people want to get around they should get a job and buy a loving car. nobody cares you smelly oval office.

It's not really that difficult but ok. Where I live there are plenty of designated bike paths and cyclists are required to put lights on their front and back.

as a kid, the seat on my bmx bike was merely for show. i stayed off the seat and used it to catch my balls and rear end when I took jumps that were a bit too high.

as an adult, bikes are gay unless you're riding along with kids and that usually means you don't take it seriously.

Or you're one of those pro bmxers or downhill mountain bikers

People talk about this but I very rarely see cyclists blowing through red lights. stop signs yes, jumping before it's actually green yes, maybe the occasional blowing through a dead intersection, but I've only seen two people blow through a red at an active intersection. they both almost died which was disappointing cause i was hoping they would actually die. that's my story. peace.

Bikes come in real handy when you live in a city with lots of traffic. Get to places faster and cheaper.
You also get more versatility being able to ride on the road, sidewalks, or on off paths.
Lycra wearing bike fetishists are pretty lame though.

yeah i love showing up everywhere sweaty and alone with a big theft target chained to my leg.

oh hey buddy, yeah lets' get lunch. oh ok how about i just walk my bike while you also walk or else maybe you take the subway then wait 20 minutes as i struggle through traffic. remember i cant answer the phone or anything so just sit there and wait.

this but unironically. gently caress if i'm going to wait for that one traffic light that takes forever to change when it's 1am and no one's around. even worse on my bike or motorcycle cause the light isn't triggered b/c i'm not fat enough.

Where I live subways aren't really a thing
and the bus takes 20-30 minutes (I don't live downtown and the infrastructure sucks). Why wouldn't I be able to answer my phone? I can't stop for 2 seconds? Why would I be struggling in traffic when there's a sidewalk? Why would my bike be chained to me when I can lock it anywhere?

Psa: If you're riding a bike in anything nicer than workout clothes everyone who sees you assumes you've gotten a DWI. This is also true if you have a basket on your bike or if you're wearing a backpack.
