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.

Motorists

I don't have a car or motor, I don't even have a driver's license, I go around largely by public transport. Not everyone who disagrees with you is a part of the same secret cult out to get you, I certainly don't think cars should be preferred by default to bikes or to mass public transport, I simply found your specific arguments to be wrong or questionable. You of course went all out fantasising who I am and what's my motivation...

I'd much prefer to be hit by a truck while I'm in a car than while I'm on a bike, thank you very much. Overall I think there's so much fewer trucks on the roads than cars that cars are, in absolute numbers, more dangerous for bikers and pedestrians than trucks. Maybe statistics would prove me wrong here, idk. (Note: I live in Europe, the cars usually used here and the overall traffic infrastructure are different than in the US.)

https://www.reddit.com/r/bicycletouring/comments/xe1m1e/legal_issues_with_bicycle_trailer/ - are these people crazy or dumb for discussing the legal limits for bike trailers and the potential problems with their weight and width?
