SELL YOUR CAR

if it werent for families, groceries, taking kids to school, cripples/physical defects, frozen roads and shit weather bicycling would dominate transportation the efficiency of it is comically higher than anything possible

>mfw i momentarily keep pace with cars
First time i hit 30mph with the power of my own legs i wept tears of joy it was just so based.
>Weightlifting = tiger brain

I don't have one, and i rarely cycle either. unlike suburbcucks, all the places i need to go are within walking distance or there is a bus route

>>76609608 (OP)
With a car you can go anywhere

If you take a mountain biker on put him on a road bike and he'll become a good road cyclist in 10 minutes.
If you take a road cyclist and put him on a mountain bike, he won't last 10 minutes.

ive never owned a car in my 33 years of life. only driven one a handful of times like 6-7 years ago when i got my license and that was it. my bike is my only source of transportation, and ill use it in conjunction with the subway and the occasional carpool

this is what happens when you're a completely autistic loser who has never had a family or social life to need a car for. every day i pray to get obliterated from behind by a car and die instantly to free me from this hellish existence.

I can't wear the optimal oufits because they expose my flaccid state micro penis..

I bought a bike yesterday because some anons told me it would cure depression and if they were lying to me I'm going to be very displeased

>>76611075
there are times where ill ride my bike because otherwise i would be sitting in my room doing nothing. it is nice to be outside, but at the same time, when im riding, im just seeing how everyone is out with their friends and families whle im the lone autist bicycling around town alone with no real purpose or goal to it other than that i would be sitting in my room if i wasnt doing it, and i get depressed anyway

>>76611075
you will quickly realize how boring your surroundings are
t: started to autisticly ride the same route every day

>>76610902
Right, now let's see if the mountain biker can maintain 30 mph for several hours.

>>76610902
you can take the mountain biker out of the mountain, but you can't take the mountain out of the mountain biker

literally everything is within 10min by foot or bike

frozen / snowy roads here are a problem like 5days per year and they quickly get serviced anyway

>>76611075
Context is everything desu. I work a 15-20 min ride from home through a very chill part of town near the university. Summer months are amazing with all the sun, gorgeous girls showing off their tits and arses everywhere, no real chance for lunatics on the road to pancake me. Even pass through a field of cows. Very test-boosting bit of cardio, good for the soul desu. It's probably a lot different to proper inner city riding.

We have a car, which I'll use if the wife isn't just so I don't forget how to drive, but I'd never get a second one just to cut out a very short commute. If traffic is shit then the car takes longer anyways.

>>76611314
k now try a bigger family with greater with more varied transportation needs and longer than typical bike traveling distances. there are too many people in not bike friendly situations. in some places traveling on a highway by bike b a death sentence

everytime someone mention bikes, there's always some hick living in bumuck with his 18 cousins that all do carpentry and he's like
"you're not taking away my f350 from me!!!!"

>with more varied transportation needs

then move!?
no one force you to live in a shitty place...

besides (in my country) 69% of ALL car trips are below 10km
40% are below 5km
that's distances even young children and elderly can manage

you were forced at gunpoint to live there, right?

Italy has a well deserved reputation for being horrible for cyclists.

>>76611432
I know nothing about it, but if true that's kinda funny given how big road cycling is there.

>>76611442
The drivers in Italy are just maniacs with no respect for each other and definitely not for cyclists. Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark and Germany are good and safe for cyclists. France and Spain are ok, better than Italy anyway.

How am i supposed to fuck bitches on top of a bike? My minivan seems like a superior choice. For everyday transportation i just walk, the van its just to take bitches to eat and then fold the seats, spread a blanket on the floor and fuck them senseless. Also, where i live, cyclist and electric scooter people are seen as poor faggots, my van is 20 something years old but it has that "badass old car" aura, also bitches dont put objections when the alternative is walking or taking the bus full of niggers, only the brainrotted delusional whores care about how fancy your car is, most of them cant even afford the license, much less a fucking BMW, so they usually shut the fuck up about it.

Yeah, you don't do that.

>>76612253
Well for now were in an interim where scientists are trying to make everything as miserable as and subscription based as possible but you can still buy a reliable pre 2014 ICE car to meet your needs in most places. They're still necessary for the majority of people anyway considering the genius scientific city planners of the late 20th and early 21st century. But regardless of that you're not going to be hauling lumber on your bicycle for example, I know that people who self identify as cyclists are like hamsters on their jewish daycare wheel and they don't really do anything like buy lumber or other material but some people still do and a bicycle wont cover it

Lmao I work from home and don't go anywhere, I only have a car because I think they're neat, she sits in my driveway 99.9% of the time depreciating but when work or women piss me off I have this turn i keep trying to take at higher speeds without flipping, it's not super sharp but I'm real close to taking the bitch at 80mph, (white people) music blasting, worth the cost imo
And yeah it's a fucking Mazda3, I've had Audis, Mercedes, Acuras, had a six cylinder accord which was ace (rip), multiple RSXs, but I wanted something reliable and nice and I'm really happy with her, can't justify prices on used Hondas anymore and euro cars can suck a fat dick. My little girl is fully loaded, fighter jet style motorized HUD screen that flips up from the dash, adaptive headlights, premium audio, genuine leather on the wheel and seats, paddle shifters, the 2.5l is pretty impressive, 7 seconds flat for an NA 4 cylinder, not arguing she's fast but for Mazda are wizards for getting that out of an engine like that, you can see Nissan do the same displacement engine losing a whole second on theirs

you're joking but
kids absolutely love bicycle tours for vacation

depending on the age, you do 30-60km/day
if they're old enough to help set up camp, camping is viable
otherwise hotels
along popular routes on rivers like Rhine, Danube, Loire there are even hotels specializing on this
you stop on interesting cities, castles and sights along the way and do a rest day every few days
like somewhere around ~5h/day actually on the bike is viable for 12yo

we've done this every summer since 2020
and it's literally the favorite vacation of my kids

And many more things.
Cars do have a place but the fact they got so ubiquitous in cities is simply baffling if you think about it. For better or worse we live in a globalised world and we should have access to everything we need in the 10Km around us tops, unless you live in the countryside of course, in which case you would absolutely need a truck or car.

(((They))) hate bicycles because they don't require charging, or apps, or subscriptions. You can fix any problem on your own, and unless you buy top of the line road bike components, everything is fairly cheap to fix as well. A bike that's well taken care of will last many decades.

Fuck yeah. I have a road bike from the late 70s and it's a thing of beauty. It will probably still work fine a hundred years from now as long as my grandchildren and great-grandchildren do some rudimentary repairs every once in a while lol.

>>76614758
>motorised bike in a crowded area
ligther motorcycles are specifically made for that situation, you will be way quicker than a car or a bicycle. Motorcycles are more stable when going between cars because they are heavier and you don't have to pedal.

>>76614760

You some kind of countrysidefag? Cyclists don't weave between cars in the city, they ride on the side of the road and more or less ignore traffic except for stopping at intersections.

>>76614699
Your right, I would much rather live in my cardboard cookie cutter suburban house, where its hot as fuck like Texas Florida or Arizona, have to drive everywhere even 5km to the grocery store because no infrastructure with my $50k SUV that I have an 18% APR loan on!

The murican dream!

>>76614793
>You some kind of countrysidefag?
I'm from Europe, now that I think about it, american roads are way wider and they usually have a bike lane in the shoulder. In Europe it's the rural zones and newer cities the places with bike lanes on the road, big cities are old as fuck and the streets are very narrow, so most of the time you can't put a dedicated bike lane there.

>>76609638

the streets of any big city in my country look like this, you have to go between cars because there's no "edge of the road". I would rather go between cars in a faster scooter.

>>76611314
i learned that americans even drive to places that are 10 minutes away like gyms and shit when i was over there a few years ago (florida and georgia). its truly a bizarre society completely raped by consumerism and material worship

>>76614827
There literally is an edge on the right tho. That's the kind of space where everyone in my city bikes lol.

>>76614829
They drive everywhere to avoid niggers.

>>76614829
10 minutes by car could be a half hour away on foot.

>>76614832
There's barely any space by the fourth car, and you aren't riding the shoulder along that bus further away

>>76614809
Doing groceries on a bike is a bit shit though, it takes too long (40 min roundtrip for me) and unless you want to go more multiple times per week it's annoying to cycle with 20 kg of extra weight. You have to balance the front and back, left and right, and even then the bike tries to tip over when you turn.
Other than that you either have to cycle on the road (the quality of road surface is horrible here and cars do stupid things) or the footpath (not much better surface and pedestrians are in the way) as there are virtually no segregated cycle lanes. In many places there's not even a line on the road. I've lost a tire to broken glass before and narrowly avoided it multiple other times. And then there's always the chance you park your bike for 20 mins and come back to find it's been stolen.
If governments want people to cycle they need to get serious about building the infrastructure. I more or less gave up on cycling because of these issues.

>>76614838
i meant 10 minutes away by walking* apologies. so, i stayed in one of those planned communities when i was in florida and i was told it was completely normal to drive to the nearby stores and restaurants that were only a 10-15 minute walk away which is unfathomable to me as a scandi.

>>76614840
>There's barely any space by the fourth car
how fat are you? Besides you can hop onto the curb for a bit if needed.

>>76614840
1)stop being fat
2)weave onto the sidewalk if you really do get blocked by some retard
ezpz
And yeah I really don't think I've ever seen a cyclist riding in between cars rather than on the side.

>>76614838
that's why you take the bicycle

typical speeds in cities are around ~20kmh
in rush hour, that can go even lower
also you got to include the time it takes to find a parking spot

in most well build / designed cities in central / western Europe
distances for bikes / by foot are typical more direct and shorter
a 10min car ride from door to door shouldn't take longer than 15min by bike

not only the difference negligible but you also get a free workout / warmup
cars are the least /fit/ mode of transport

>>76614829
>i learned that americans even drive to places that are 10 minutes away
sadly you don't even have to go to the US for this

I have neighbors (in Germany) that take their shitty leased car out of the underground car park to go to the bakery literally 5min by foot
the drive needs twice as long than just walking
they're just fat, lazy and retarded

and if you talk to them
they're proud for paying like ~700€/month for their shitty car
and he tell with enthusiasm how he saved 2cents per liter diesel last week by driving >20km

>>76614579
bike trips are unironically based yeah but sometimes you just want to go to the airport or spend a day on the beach (closest to me is 160km). Also the viability of a bike trip with kids depends a lot on the quality of the infrastructures available

>>76614785
>ligther motorcycles are specifically, etc
Was thinking more of in pedestrian areas like the market in your pic.

I drive a bicycle in a city because it's simply faster. My daily commute is about 15-20 minutes total both ways. I don't have to waste time looking for parking space, can skip traffic entirely and even some red lights by weaving onto the sidewalk.

>>76614846
>it's annoying to cycle with 20 kg of extra weight
Ever seen a fatass cycle? They're probably carrying even more extra weight than that.

I agree it does make the bike much less responsive but you get used to it quick in my experience. I wouldn't want to drive a loaded bike hands off but other than that it's fine.

>>76614833
I don't get it, they want the cities to be walkable but they also want them full of these 40IQ violent turdies which means they just end up staying inside and ordering everything through amazon (they hate capitalism btw) make it make sense

>>76614874
>but sometimes you just want to go to the airport or spend a day on the beach
this won't be a popular take on 4chan because muh you will own nothing
but carsharing is unironically great for this

always get the right car for the job (e.g. transporter / truck for hardware store runs / getting fire wood, family van for vacation, convertible for weekend trip with wife)
it's cheaper than owning (for moderate use) and I don't have to think about maintenance, insurance and all the other stupid stuff

of course if you drive every week multiple time it doesn't make sense
or if you don't have a car sharing station nearby (which are ubiquitous in my region)
but people really underestimate the total cost of ownership of a car

>viability of a bike trip with kids depends a lot on the quality of the infrastructures available
like what?
i've done this in multiple european countries and it was always great
just gotta search for a nice / viable route before

>>76614865
>typical speeds in cities are around ~20kmh
>in rush hour, that can go even lower
>also you got to include the time it takes to find a parking spot
Yeah but I'm not in a city, so typical speed is like 30mph in the suburb, 40-50 on state roads, 60-80 highway.
Endless parking lots.

>>76614893
>Ever seen a fatass cycle? They're probably carrying even more extra weight than that.
It's not the weight itself but the distribution. If you load the front it makes steering harder, if you load the back it makes accelerating harder, and if you load off-centre (side bags) it makes the bike tippy. Even if you get it all even it still does because you have to tilt the bike to turn so you have all the weight pulling/pushing the bike further to the side you're turning.

>I agree it does make the bike much less responsive but you get used to it quick in my experience
It was just frustrating to me. Maybe it would bother me less if we had decent infrastructure and weather here.

My brother in law is Slovanian and my younger sister lives with him in Slovania. His take on the US after living here for a year is something to the effect of "Americans have big wallets, big jobs, big houses, big yards, big cars and big dreams" and he said that with a hint of contempt to me. I had no clue why he would think any of that was a bad thing. I just spent a year touring mostly western and a small amount of eastern Europe. My take is exactly the opposite of his towards Euros and with a larger amount of contempt.

>>76615133

>and the point besides that 'burbs are retarded is that you can live easily without a car there
Ouch yeah the burbs are actually worse than city people.

I live in the corn fields. There is no gym within a 30 minute drive of me so I built my own. Groceries are a weekly event because its a 40 minute round trip every time, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Newer cars do a lot to piss me off, mine pictured is a 2018 GT, so last year of the prior generation. I had the opportunity to test drive a newer one that was a lower trim so I won't get into direct comparisons anywhere but the engine and space. The interior is cramped as fuck comparatively in the newer ones. The hatchback is uglier. The sedan is a bit uglier too imo. Exterior we're talking. The 2.5 in the new models felt more sluggish. Now, the new models you can get the 2.5 with a turbo and that's likely nice, I haven't driven one, can't do that on my gen unless you go aftermarket. I had the chance to buy either my 2018 or a 2023 both with about the same mileage and the price would have been maybe $500 more for the newer one, and I made my pick in full confidence. Pretty girl only had 30k miles when I nabbed her, one owner, garage kept, fully loaded, and I work from home so she's not far beyond that mileage now six months later.

You are retarded, I load 30kg cargo on the rear of bicycle and everything works. Of course it's slow on uphills, but on flat it's not much slower.

If there’s anything else to look at as to how big of a loser I am, it’s being an American in his 30s who’s never owned a car, and has only driven one a few times (and never alone, only with a driving instructor). I mean of course I’m a loser in every other part of my life as well, but if there’s really one thing to look at, it has to be that. I do have a road bike and for a number of years now I average around 3,000 miles a year on it. But yeah, being in a country where driving a car is pretty much required to have any sort of independent life and you’ve gone over 30 years without having one is an exclamation point on how much of a loser you are.

I don’t even know why I’m like this. I do have a few outdoor social hobbies I do, and for the most part I’m able to successfully do them because I can use my bike and the subway system (I’m in one of the few areas of the US with a decent one) to get to them, or the occasional carpool with other participants, but not having a car limits my opportunities with this hobby as well. I know how pathetic it is to not own a car or even be able to drive (I got my license 7 years ago but even if it was an emergency right now I wouldn’t know what to do behind the wheel) but I don’t know, it just seems so pointless. It isn’t like if I got a car suddenly I would become some happy normal person, getting my own place, meeting women, making friends, getting some big bustling career, etc. I would still be the same ultra loser, except I would now just have a vehicle that I take out a few times a week but have the added burden and expense of everything that comes with car ownership.

nice diary entry

Did you pedal into something in front of you? You're not a real chclist until you just keep going as fast as possible without trying to even remotely think about dodging stationary obstacles.

I see blacks utilize this "mind"set when walking around other people, just charge into them like the dumb angry gorillas they are

infrastructure in many places is extremely pedestrian hostile. it can take signficantly longer than it should to reach nearby places due to atrocious city planning. you would know this if you weren't trying to be a chucklefuck. you're arguing with someone who is pro bicycle and i ride nearly every day. you're a delusional faggot at the very least

What if the government through Obama's weaponized HUD dept moved a bunch of niggers really close to your house? Like surrounded you by section ape? They can bike, you can bike, you're at parity with the beasts. How do you escape? How do you pack your shit up and move? Do you bike two blocks over and make a hundred trips? They'll still break in and rob you and rape your wife at night, it's what they're designed to do by satan. Until you answer this I cannot accept your vision

Weird saddle angle. Cool bike and cool pic still.

>>76611503
This is the problem, they noticed biking was becoming popular so they skyrocketed the prices in their circle.
Every single one does it so you can't find a cheap one anymore.

>>76614838
Do you speed walk or run? 10 min on a car will take hours to catch up to at a normal walk pace.

I bike in Slavic europe and I never saw a nigger while biking.

>>76617903
However, Slavs leave their aggressive dogs unsecured and I have to kill them occasionally.

Cool I hope a tranny nigger smashes their car into yours and you all die

I have a 200$ piece of shit that I ride to work every day. For a long time I thought these lycra fags were the real deal because they're always passing me. Then I tried a proper road bike and nope they're actually pussies and just pay for their speed. An easier sport does not exist.

Because of slippery slope.

>Doing groceries on a bike is a bit shit though, it takes too long (40 min roundtrip for me) and unless you want to go more multiple times per week it's annoying to cycle with 20 kg of extra weight. You have to balance the front and back, left and right, and even then the bike tries to tip over when you turn.
If you get panniers then they are built to distribute the weight lower, which actually improves the balance.
