and personally I'd rather buy some nice electric bicycle instead

This is exactly the reason I bought a new and good bike for the price of a used car. And what's more is that the exercise that comes with it is free and the insurance is exponentially lower.

We really need to make more bike friendly infrastructure around the world so more people have the same option as I have.

    I'd love to live and work somewhere where I could bike. The distance to my current job would be doable for me but there is zero bike infrastructure to make it feasible.

    hard fucking agree. we need to infiltrate the road design manual committees and get it written in that it's mandatory to have protected bike lanes on any road with more than 4 lanes of traffic and not a freeway
