It really makes this article hit home about why cycling is necessary.
"Bike-hate is not principally about delay. Motorists show remarkable patience for other cars. They’ll sit comfortably behind stoppers, parkers, turners and incompetents of all kinds. But sitting behind a bike makes many people mad. Really mad. Why? Because bikes represent cultural change. Cultural change is threatening.
This is ironic, since the bike easily predates the car. But the bike is also the form of the future. That makes it dangerous.
Don’t get me wrong. I love driving. I adore road trips. But this isn’t about what I want. Sadly, it’s not even about what you want. It’s about the wants of the other 7.2 billion planetary humans. Which makes it, simply, obvious. We can’t all drive everywhere."
It's odd, now I find when I get in the car, I can actually feel myself getting more annoyed the longer I spend in the car.
Because cycling makes me so happy, it's like I have more and more awareness of the effects of sitting in a car in traffic.
Hehe. Yep, still can't fix my own bike..
