    Nothing says freedom like riding a bike in the middle of winter to reduce your carbon footprint by, 0.00000000000000000000000001% At least when I have to pay for the MOT on my car I know my tire won’t fall off its axis, and that people who couldn’t be bothered to repair their car don’t put everyone else in danger.

      Lol, if anyone in some green urbanization or community against cars is telling you that you should use a bike to go everywhere is stupid, actually that argument is usually used by liberals to contradict people who think we should be using trains because “everyone can make a change.” That’s not who it should work, and it fact what we should be doing is exactly how it’s done in China, and it works. There are efficient railroad throughout the city so that if you need to move big distances you do that, and what the train can’t cover (it also wouldn’t be efficient to have railroads everywhere) you do it on public bicycles. But using this shitty argument to defend cars is pathetic.

    a common con is to repackage bog-standard advise and hope your audience hasn’t heard it before, so you sound profound and innovative, and then you can slip in whatever your BS is once you’ve got them hooked
