I've only driven a car 2 times in my entire life, I tell people it's because I almost hit a person on the second time, but it's really because I'm horrified of the idea that driving would take away the reason I fell in love with riding my bike.
My bike is the only reason I'm alive
I am, in fact, a hipster
I can't stand other hipsters, or fixies, despite the last confession
Sometimes I think about getting hit by stupid drivers just to punish them
I don't race because I'm horrified of doing badly
I ride alone 99% of the time because I'm afraid no one would be able to handle how slow I am
I'm more than 25 pounds over my ideal weight, because I'm too lazy to actually exercise
I read the first 34 pages of this thread debating actually posting
The fear of driving could be overcome'd if you wanted to by seeking counseling. But it sounds like you really don't have a need to drive anyways so why bother, but it would be worth counseling BEFORE you ever decide you need to drive again.

I'm not sure what you mean by being lazy, it sounds like you ride virtually everyday, that's not being too lazy to exercise...you're exercising every day! And if you ride virtually everyday I doubt if you're all that slow, maybe not a racer speed type of rider, but better then the weekend good weather only warrior! And if your avatar is a pic of you, you don't look overweight.
