Just Bike

Stop driving around people! if you live within 10 miles of your workplace, there's pretty much no good reason for why you should be driving a huge car, especially by yourself. I bike everywhere and I hardly see anyone else on bikes when I go out. When I am stopped at a light, however, I watch car after car speed on by with carrying only one occupant. Giant SUVs, hummers, and some raised trucks. I would be amazed if it wasn't so frustrating and sad. People are having problems with keeping weight off, stress, insomnia, anger, depression, etc. It could all be handled with a nice little bike ride. I often find it takes a little less than twice the time to get somewhere on a bike than it does to drive due to the traffic. Sometimes I can get somewhere in about the same amount of time or sooner. it's often even faster than a bus.

Downside of vehicles: -a vehicle sucks up money even without you driving it(insurance,registration, towing...)
-gas costs a fuckton, you're burning money every time you drive
-cost of maintenance is insane -disconnects you from the environment around you as you speed by at an unnatural 60mph pace
-disconnects from others around you. all it takes to shut others out is a quick window roll up. people aren't people anymore, just giant metal beasts who don't know what they're doing
-pollutes the environment both visually and actually

 Some Benefits of vehicles:
-can go longer distances faster, with multiple people
-emergency situation helper outer

Benefits of the bike:
-get some exercise in and strengthen heart, lungs, etc
-connect with people and the environment -get some fresh air and sun -save tons of money (can buy a good bike for under $500)
- doesn't cost you a thing every time you ride it. the money you save you can spend on fresh fruit with money to spare -get to show that you respect the environment with your actions rather than just talking about it

Downsides of biking:
-if you're an athlete it will take a bit of time to adjust to the extra conditioning
-it will take longer to go further and you may have to depend on others for longer trips, like camping trips. but not necessarily if you're willing to put the work in.
-sweating (eat a cleaner diet and you don't have to worry about smell though)

 Anyways a lot of the downsides that come with biking can really just be construed as benefits. It's good to slow down a bit and not get sucked into the uber fast paced, stressed out, gas guzzling world of automobiles. If you can run or walk that's even better than biking. Remember if your body works, use it. It's a privilege to be able to use your body. Don't neglect it.
