>shelters occupants from elementsokay

TBQH most people should get way more driver ed and driver training than they get away with.
>affordable to anyone with a job LOL, no. Someone working in fast food can't afford a car, insurance, maintenance, etc.
That's why we have 'alternate transportation'
>you arrive at your destination not smelling like a wet dog like with a bicycle If it's just 'transportation', sure. But we ride bikes for other reasons. Like not being a FATASS.
Are you a fatass? Fix that shit.

>>>/fit/, and not
>>>/o/. I'd recommend you get a bike for short trips. Then you won't be fat.
FWIW I have a pickup truck, motorcycle, and two bikes. Wouldn't give up any of them.
