That I understand.

I go everywhere on a bike, except when I take trash to the county dumpsters. It's only 2.5 miles each way and downhill loaded to get there. I just don't have a way to carry an overstuffed tall kitchen trash bag on a bike--securely. I could buy a trailer but that's not cost effective at three trips/gallon and I make one trip a month.

I use a bike when I can, the truck when I have to. Both are just transportation tools, although I do like the bike better.

I don't see using one tool over another as being obsessive as long as either will do the job.


BTW........tsl---is that a Specialized helmet???
