You’re really telling me you ride your bike to and from work in -40c regularly? How far do you commute daily? Why do you feel justified in acting so superior to others?
I walk because I can’t ride a bike and if I can’t walk because it is too icy, I transit 5 kms. But I don’t think myself superior, I used to be a car brain too. I bought in to the needing a car hype and that owning a car was freedom. I’m so much more free and stable now without car payments, insurance, car maintenance, outrageous fuel prices and cops following me just for driving 🤷♀️
I too ride my bike when I can but I live over 60 kms from my office. Unfortunately there is also no real public transit for my commute. Driving a car is the only reasonable solution. I hate the situation I’m in and wish I didn’t have to spend as much as I do for all the things surrounding my little smart car. But still, you consider me a “car brain”. Get off your high horse and just be glad of your situation
Rural commuters are different, you never asked about that.
Though if more people lived in urban areas it would solve a lot of problems when it comes to unnecessary commutes and anyone who chooses to live suburbanly and commute is a car brain, yes.
And you might not necessarily be one (though you never mentioned a bike or a “smart” car before) but anyone who makes excuses to continue bad habits is most definitely a car brain. People driving 5 people’s worth of space and fuel the 12 blocks it takes to get to work are most definitely car brains. The people in over sized trucks and SUVs when they really don’t need to are most definitely car brains. And people who make excuses for their bad behaviour…guess what? Car brains. I don’t care if you think I’m on a high horse. Better a horse than a car.
