Comment on Arguing for the car as a good method of transportation is like arguing that having personal diesel generator to power you home is a good idea

My parents did it the same way as I do, doing so for a family of six. Longtail bike or cargo tricycle with a few bags, and then you go. Works just fine, whether once every other day or every week. I did this for them and siblings as well.

Buying for only myself, I do it every other day.

For the bus lines, you just leave a few min in advance. And does the car not have a same (looking for parking spots), if not more stressful issue, by having to focus while driving as well?

Fuck off. Seriously go and think about what you just said to someone you know nothing about and what your goals are from this conversation.

Being civil on the internet seems like a lost art. I know what I say. I bicycle everyday. Now, could you be so kind to behave like a normal person and not be rude, thank you.

Then why don’t you talk about it from your own perspective, rather than telling other people how amazing cycling will be for them? You’d be less annoying and probably convince more people to cycle that way, too.

I did. And you can be less annoying by not saying “fuck off”.

As you can appreciate, none of those response are reasonable - in the same way you’re being unreasonable.

Except that fuel costs are still higher going by car than by bike or bus. You’re paying to travel with a multiple-tonne vehicle for up to 6 people, probably only carrying one or two at a time – while a bus carries much more. I think you are the one being unreasonable here with your rudeness.
