    As soon as bicycles are mentioned, everyone suddenly has to transport their washing machine 200 miles in sub zero temperatures.

      I think it’s more that when someone is suggesting something as a perfect thing, people naturally try to challenge that by finding faults in it.

        It’s blindingly obvious cycling is not a panacea for all transport and no one is suggesting it is. Yet here they are, all pointing out what everyone knows in response to a statement that was never made.

          I think you’re getting too upset about that. That’s just how people argue online.

          It’s like you don’t read your peers comments. Yes, people argue this ALL THE TIME.

          If I had a dime every time someone said oh just rent a truck when you need it making blind assumptions about my life and what I need, I could buy a bike with it.
