There are some (many) situations where I'd rather have a car than a bicycle. And I certainly would not rather be dependent upon a multi-thousand dollar bicycle over a multi-thousand dollar car as my sole means of transportation. Cars aren't inherently bad; bikes aren't inherently good. Use what gets the job done. I used to be militantly anti-car when approaching grad school. I only wanted a bike, wanted nothing else, said I'd bike everywhere, etc. I thought the way you did. But upon getting here, and being fortunate enough to obtain both a new bike and a used car (which belongs to my parents, but is being lent to me), I've come to realize both vehicles have their place, and I wouldn't want to have to go without one or the other.
A well-articulated and balanced position.
