This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Picking up a week's worth of shopping for a family, whilst taking your baby with you, in the pouring rain, and you live up a steep hill, and you have joint pain, and a sudden work meeting across the other side of town in an hour...

I'd love a city designed round bicycles (Cambridge, UK is quite good like that in the centre) but man, despite the downsides cars are amazing things.

My mother brought my sister and me to kindergarten and elementary school on one bike early in the morning in every weather. After school she collected us and then went to buy groceries before returning home.

A colleague of mine rides with his son to the kindergarten, each on his own bike.

It works. You just have to work out how to do it. Concentrate on what you can do with a bike instead of what you can't.
