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.

The fact is goes as far as as fast as you can isn't really a good thing. Also collisions are more likely to kill you.

...aaand we're back to adjusting our speed to suit the circumstances.

Cities are inhospitable, but mostly because they're built around 1 tonne death traps as opposed to other means of transport

Cause you can't actually GO anywhere on a bike. If you want to go somewhere 200 miles away for a week, it'd take a day and a half each way, minimum, and you can't bring anything with you bigger than a backpack. It's also physically strenuous to go literally anywhere, even the places you are allowed to go.

Also, bad weather is a major pain in the ass on a bicycle, but only a minor inconvenience in a car
