If you're not using or somewhat into bicycles, why do you think that is? (hexbear.net)

I'm curious. I know where my life diverged and where I would've been a car guy otherwise, would be interested to see what the dealio with other people is or whether they even ever thought about it

I mean don't dox yourself or whatever but would you be willing to share where that 10+ years brings us? Like me i was heavily into bicycles until about 12, then there was the dark times, then again after about 21.

I'm in my 30s, and pretty risk-adverse since I'm a parent. Infamousblt's comment really resonates - I like bicycles but also like not getting hit by cars that run a red light (it's already dangerous enough driving a hatchback around all the trucks and SUVs here) or right turn on red without looking. I like your bike posting, though - makes me wish I had the ability to live in a less bike-hostile place lol.

Yeah no fair point there, I also wish to not die
