    God how I miss living in an urban area. Until two years ago, I’d bike with my kids to their school every day. Where we are now, it’s 10 miles of deathtrap pavement away. ☹️ I wouldn’t feel comfortable riding most of it on my own, let alone with my kids.

    Fuck cars. Quality of life is so much higher when you don’t have to depend on them.

      That’s rough. My place isn’t super bikable but it’s good enough and I made getting a place and a job close together a priority because I didn’t want to spend huge chunks of my life trapped in traffic.
