And I don't see how anyone could think it is. Motorists kill a shit ton of people, a vastly greater quantity of other animals, and that's just in terms of the billions of animals that die in physical collisions, not even accounting for those who die due to air pollution, noise pollution, car-driven habitat destruction, and climate change.

Every year our nation's experimenters kill 100 million lab animals, hunters kill 200 million "game" animals, and motorists kill nearly 400 million road animals. Only America's meat-eaters take a larger toll than its motorists.

Ride a bike y'all.

      Maybe think about it as something you can aim for in the future? Like, what would you do if you were unable to drive? When looking for work, or looking for housing, "able to get there without a car" would be a hard limitation, so you'd think like, "how far can I realistically get on a bike" and that would be your search radius. That's how I do it anyway.
