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.

I dare you to travel on your own bicycle in the depths of winter across the USA in the same timeframe as a car.

That’s impossible and no one is implying that bikes should replace other modes of transport for interstate travel. However, I bike commute in winter in Wisconsin and it takes less time than riding the bus. Driving a car is faster than my bike commute, but only marginally so.

Because there's no Microcenter in my city.

Because it's harder to kill someone by hitting them with it.

But in all seriousness, you can go a lot farther, a lot faster, across much worse terrain and weather in a car than a bike.
