This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Here is another reason. I can't afford a reasonable sized apartment that can house my family near my work. So I have to travel further. Bikes are great for cities if you can afford to live in the city.

Also, what happens when it snows and you gotta get to work? Snow chains?

Snow chains?

Studded tires for bikes are quite common where I live.

Where the fuck is that, Yukon?

Works anywhere where there's snow.

Not really. Where I live, the bike infrastructure is decent, even though it has its flaws. Right now the conditions are the worst, it's cold, we had a lot of snow recently and even though they removed most of it, there is a lot of ice still. I just have to bike slower than usual, that's all. Last year I remember like 5 days when biking was all but impossible snow was building up faster than they managed to remove it.
