I'm not too proud to drive the car (or arrange other transportation) when I don't feel up to the bike for whatever reason. In the very rare circumstances where other transportation is not available and I can't suck it up to ride, I'm probably too sick for work anyway, so I just call in..

I love the bike, it's one of my favorite things ever, but it's not an affectation for me and I concede that it's not always the most practical solution for my circumstances, and that's A-OK. We don't all have to aspire to be car-light, or car-free.
