What is new about that? Seems like a rehash of the same stuff you've been preaching all along here.

Look, I love my bicycle. I love being out on a trail in the country on a sunny afternoon with no one else around. It's freaking nirvana.

But in no, way, shape or form will it ever replace my car as my primary mode of transportation.

That's a very shortsighted and naive statement there, but you have every right to feel that way; I would never say otherwise.

I don't see it being naive or shortsighted as much as realistic.

I actually wouldn't say its a choice. With my current life there is exactly zero percent way that I could make things work without a car with how cities are structured. Streets is an idealist, an idealist that is still in college, has no kids, and has conveniences he doesn't even know about or could even realize until he grows up. I am not saying Streets is stupid but he is very naive to lives other than his and he doesn't take them into effect when he blurts his opinions.

I wish our cities would be more dependent on mass transit and bicycles, but currently they are not. I commend Streets for his efforts to try and implement these alternative forms of transit, I just wish he would take into account other peoples lifestyle than his own.

It would be nice if anyone had anything even halfway intelligent to add.
