-* Why I Do Not, and Shall Never Again, Own a Car
-
-Do you find asphalt attractive? Do you enjoy the smell of gasoline? Is
-going to the pump a pleasant experience for your wallet? What of our
-wonderful insurance system?
-
-Asphalt is ugly. Gasoline smells terrible. Gasoline is expensive. Auto
-insurance costs more than I spend on food every month (twice as much
-even).
-
-I am free of these things and refuse to be enslaved by them again. I
-have no need for useless status symbols and vehicles which can take me
-places five times faster than I have the desire to get there. It is
-much more enjoyable to put fuel into myself rather than a gas tank (my
-tongue and stomach do quite enjoy it as well).
-
-Every mile travelled in a car eats money, pollutes the air just a
-little bit more, causes some damage to the roads, and is (I think)
-quite stressful when there is heavy traffic.
-
-Every mile travelled on a bicycle is another 100 Calories of food I
-get to eat at the end of the ride (mmm carbohydrates). I suppose my
-lungs are releasing CO_2 into the air, but perhaps this is made up by
-my bicycle causing no stress to the asphalt beneath me. Most of the
-time I find bicycling to quite relaxing; even on the 30F
-mornings. There is, naturally, some stress; usually when cars pass me
-on the left as I am signalling with my arm that I am preparing to make
-a left turn, or forcing me off of the road because I am in the center
-of the lane as we drift to a red light, or passing me when I am
-exceeding the speed limit (hills are friendly when you're going down
-them).
