1 year agoClaming that car owners have less intelligence strikes me as a bit elitist, people are taken by many lies of the system but that does not mean they are unintelligent or inferior in some way, they are for the most part victims of a misinformation campaign of colossal scale. That is not to mean that it’s not an achievement for you to have changed, but it’s important to not have to undermine others in order to celebrate our achievements
Yeah furthermore it’s wholly unnecessary, the health benefits and all make a better argument to that point, but still many places specially in the US are designed in a way to make cars all but a necessity, so if you live in a place where the distances you need to travel are reasonable and cycling is safe sure, but that’s in no way a broad generalization
