Between rising costs of living, student-loan debt, and the too-easy doomscroll-to-checkout pipeline, of course we’re overspending more than ever.

      Should be doesn’t make it so.

        It sets a direction.

          Political action sets a direction. Telling people who may not have the option that they should just do it, does nothing.

            It broadens their view.

              Ok I’ll tell my mother in law with water on her brain that she needs to bike to the hospital. It will broaden her view. She can’t walk without assistance. But you know, broader

              No it doesn’t. It turns people against you when you act as if it’s just an option for everyone.

                Why shouldn’t be an option for everyone, eventually?

                  Disabilities exist.

                  That said, my rural county has this neat shuttle service that people without cars can use to get to their jobs and the grocery store. There’s no reason every rural community couldn’t have the same thing.

                    Nobody asks disabled people to ride a bike. Good for that shuttle service you have.
