Ah well I was surprised to keep biking 24/7 after I started in July. I'd even do it 100% of the time if I was living in my own house and if it was safe and easy to park my bike (bike theft is so prevalent). Even soaked in rain, even when cold, even after falling hard.. I kept doing it.

I'm even thinking making a bike club / bike repair shop to motivate other people. The benefits are huge.

You like to do something uncomfortable and impractical, so what, most people don't and it obviously has huge downsides. If you want to use scarce public space you can't really argue that a small minority think it's fun

Sounds judgemental and short sighted.

Also I don't get the scarce space argument.

I am actually volunteering at two repair shops ran by charities, teaching kids and refugees how to fix their own bikes. It's great, though the adults are not very keen on riding everywhere :D

Also, thanks HN for rate limiting me without a notification, you shitheads. 3 comments an hour or so?

Just ban my account and IP, I would honestly appreciate it, no need to play mind games like some other cunty sites.
