          I drive to my auto races. Some are far. I am living my childhood dreams and driving slow cars fast as shit. There is zero reason to have any sympathy. I love every moment.

        Don’t know if you’ve heard of the concept, but it is possible to own both a car and several bikes and use the one most suited for the task. I know it can be a daunting challenge for people like you to conceptualize a reality that isn’t based on binary extremes, but stay with me: you take your bicycle for short trips and commutes within the city, but use a car for occasional 400-mile trips. You can even take your bicycle with you in the car if you want to be really woke.

        Mind-blowing, am I right? Apologies if this revelation has caused your worldview to collapse.

          I think this is what he was getting at though. Bikes would not be best suited for his hypothetical here.

          Is that posted above? I was responding to the image you moron. And then you invent a fucking back story about me.

          I bike 100+ miles a week at 250w. I don’t need the explanation. The image creator does. And apparently you need a lesson about staying on topic.

          Get fucked.

        How often do you drive 400 miles? I live on the prairies and do it maybe once month. You know what I do? Rent. It’s cheaper than owning a large vehicle for occasional trips. I have a smaller daily driver but don’t take it on long trips or into the mountains.

          I’m towing 8k behind me on many trips. Good luck consistently renting a truck with a towing package on specific weekends guy. Y’all are angry little jackasses cause I pointed out why people look at statements like this funny.

            Then you are an exceptional use case. I know others e.g. my BiL has two trucks, one for work and one for toy hauling. But his wife drives a sedan because it’s good on gas. My neighbor doesn’t need a lifted F250 to drive to the office. But he does it and those are the people we roll our eyes at.
