Yeah, I know ... it's kind of silly. Nothing wrong with cycling for those reasons, but rest assured, there are a few of us who are, or have been, car-free/car-light ... and one of the main reasons is simply because we enjoy riding our bicycles. Even cycling (or walking) to and from work.
No, what's silly is this post that ridicules other people and puts false words in their mouths. Nobody has more fun on a bike than I do, but like a car it can sometimes be a tool. And having concern for the environment does not make one a bad person or a ridiculous person. Just as being apolitical does not make somebody uncaring or unintelligent.
