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

CW child abuse

I grew up in the world's most boring suburb so I had no real impetus to learn to ride a bike, but nevertheless when I was around seven my dad insisted that I was going to learn. I told him I didn't want to, and we got in a big fight about it, and he grabbed me by the neck and told me I was gonna ride that bike or else so I rode it around the block, came home, and cried into my pillow for the rest of the day
