I don't know how people can have trouble biking. When I was emaciated as all hell from a horrible diet and sitting on my ass, I could still bike 10 miles and back without worrying too much about it, as long as I paced my breathing to the bike. Personally, I think we should go back to living on our feet, and I don't say this as some green turbo-fag. I just think cars suck and ruin towns. I know that psychologically people will prefer the car, but that's not their critical thinking making the decision. If people had any critical thinking, the thought of hundreds of people independently piloting 2-ton vehicles in lanes little wider than the vehicles themselves, going at 70-80 mph, would horrify them. It's like some macabre exercise in how easily people can be unaware of insane amounts of risk. I get that America "needs" driving due to the long distances and swarthy urban inhabitants, and I'm not saying people shouldn't have cars. I personally think emissions regulations are retarded, but I believe any sane person thinks that. But cities, towns, anything slightly urban should only have car-friendly areas to the extent that people can park their cars outside of the city limits. People see it as some restriction against cars, but that's thinking of it the wrong way. There's no reason to build cities to cater to cars when it detracts from everything except for, possibly including, the cars.
