I'm not sure what politics have to do with this but no, I'm not a republican. And if you think the NYC transit system is the best then you either have very low standards or haven't experienced it long enough. It really isn't all that great or reliable. It's actually pathetic.

I also have no idea what me driving into work has anything to do with me posting on a bike forum. People who like to cycle also own cars. I know it's hard to believe but it's true.

I wish I didn't have to drive into work most of the time but driving is more convenient, more reliable, quicker and more accessible for me. It's simply a better option.
