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.

People say cars give you freedom and while in a lot of places that you can't get anywhere without one by design that may be true, being able to get around under your own power has always felt like freedom to me.

While I like to cycle, I also like to go places. Where I live, some places are just too far to get to by bike (I don't have a shower at work and 70km one way is a decent ride).

To me a car provides a considerable amount of freedom. A bike provides me a different kind of freedom.

What if you were to go half and half with a motorcycle?

I'd go full on a motocycle if I found a good electrical one, got the loan for it, get a drivers license for it.
