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.

ITT: Carbrains
As soon as bicycles are mentioned, everyone suddenly has to transport their washing machine 200 miles in sub zero temperatures.
I think it's more that when someone is suggesting something as a perfect thing, people naturally try to challenge that by finding faults in it.
It's blindingly obvious cycling is not a panacea for all transport and no one is suggesting it is. Yet here they are, all pointing out what everyone knows in response to a statement that was never made.
It's like you don't read your peers comments. Yes, people argue this ALL THE TIME.
If I had a dime every time someone said oh just rent a truck when you need it making blind assumptions about my life and what I need, I could buy a bike with it.
Yes, people argue all the time and say exactly the same stupid things all the time and it gets really tedious.
I think you're getting too upset about that. That's just how people argue online.
Glad that my city has a cargo bike renting program for 10€/day or 25€/week up to 4 weeks (selection from 17: 15 electric, 2 acoustic)
I would take the acoustic, then I wouldn’t have to supply my own cards to put in the spokes every time!
Seriously though cargo bike rental sounds like a pipe dream, too bad they roads where I am wouldn’t be able to handle such a thing by design!
Every time someone mentions acoustic bikes I habe to laugh and it will still be as hilarius the next time.
Both directions and against 100 km/h headwinds
Really hurts I guess 🤷♂️
Turns out it's not so perfect but bike nuts don't fit everyone's needs.
