Someone, probably
Being able to crush a watermelon with your calves is woke!
I haven't been active in bike advocacy in nearly twenty years, and these are all the exact same arguments we dealt with back then. It saddens me that all these long lost arguments are still being made by car drivers.
Cycling hurts my ass
Get a recumbent or a scooter or board or...
I second the vote for a recumbent. I switched to one in 2006 and never looked back. So comfy. You can go for a bike ride and have a lie down at the same time.
Motorcycle is my choice
Wait, that still has a saddle.
But much more comfortable one and the softer suspension
I suppose you've got me there, they're a little faster too...
I realise you're probably joking but I've always found this to be temporary. If you're cycling regularly and the saddle pain lasts longer than a few weeks you should probably try a different saddle (I do only cycle about 60km a week so maybe not true if you're doing much longer distances)
No, I'm not joking. I even used the numbing cream to avoid the pain. Tried three or four different saddles - all were bad. Now I'm a proud motorcyclist.
It hurts mine, but I still do it
gay joke goes here
It takes to long
In heavy traffic, bikes are the fastest thing on the road.
only when your city isn't built for it
*too
Also, for me, it's actually faster and I never have to worry about parking or traffic jams. It won't be the case for everyone, but a lot of people are surprised to learn that, once they figure out their route, it's either about the same or faster.
Not if you have a Class 3 E-Bike
