Reply #75: Why don't you help us lazy, self-indulgent whiners out, then. [View All]

Let us know your great biking tips for things such as...

* carrying two truck-boxes' worth of tools to a job site.

* carrying two truck-boxes' worth of tools to a job site that changes every three weeks and can go from a mile away to 50 miles away.

* taking kids to school and then going to work, and picking up kids on the way home.

* working a job where you are on call 24/7/365 and have to be at work in two hours, and sometimes your job site is 60 miles away.

* biking a route where the only road that gets you where you need to go is a trucking highway with no shoulder.

* bike commuting when you work a physically demanding job that kicks your ass 12 hours a day, sometimes 7 days a week.

You came to this thread looking for excuses and got them; I came to this thread looking for self-righteous privilege and got it. Of course, it is DU, so I knew to expect it. Absolutely, there are a lot of people who could be biking and a legitimate argument can be made that they SHOULD be biking. But to say that the people who aren't biking are nothing more than fucking lazy self-indulgent whiners is just silly.
