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.

You've (potentially accidentally) made a great comment in support of bikes. You've listed some pretty specific and niche situations which I don't think cover 99% of car usage. If those are the sum of the exceptions, we can advocate for reducing car usage to 1% of what it is today.

You will never get rid of cars entirely, because of course not everyone can cycle. Reducing it by a factor of 100x benefits everyone, even those who still need to use one for disability or work reasons.
