    Tell me you have never used a bike as transportation without telling me.

    A cheap bike trailer is like $120. How many times do you fill a tank of gas for that price. Wow, a bike trailer, what an extravagant thing to have compared to a whole car!

      I used to bike to work every day. A lot of the time I would get there pretty sweaty.

      This was when I was younger, in better shape, and when my health problems weren’t giving me as much trouble. The last several times I got on a bike it was painful and exhausting. If I tried to commute somewhere today I’d probably collapse mid-way there with an asthma attack. If I did have a bike trailer, I wouldn’t have anywhere to put it. I live in an apartment building with no elevator and nowhere to park or store anything on the ground level.

      Everyone isn’t in the same circumstances as you. That’s the point.

      But you go ahead and tell yourself whatever you want.
