      The standard answer that doesn’t apply to most people. Let me just grab my bicycle, throw my kids on my back and I’ll be at work in 4 hours

        Big cities suck for this reason. I throw my kid in the bike trailer and daycare drop off plus getting to work is 30 minutes.

        But Weird Al never came to my small city on his tours, so not everything about small cities are great.

          Downtown rich people are the only ones who can afford to give up their car. And they really don’t, they just pretend to. They still use delivery services for everything (a car) and rent cars every weekend for outings, take Uber everywhere, and borrow cars all the time. The “we ride bikes and hate cars!” Thing is just for appearances.
