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:

Anon is often crazy.
Anon is often depressed.
Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.

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

Residents of Amsterdam are just people. Their climate is not utopic (granted, it's not sweltering hot either). Yet 58% of them ride a bike every single day for daily tasks.

Even in the most ideal walkable city, one will often want a "boost'' to their travel time and distance, but may not want to pay for something motorized (car rent or transit). Bikes fit that space well.

And you'd be surprised what you can carry with even just a beater mountain bike when left without options. Places built for cycling see a lot more cargo bikes which are shockingly capable.
