It's hard to find something that feels more like freedom than shifting your weight, taking one step, and feeling your direct kinetic energy input being smoothly converted into 20-30 times the horizontal movement you would get out of a single pace. And all at no cost, except maybe 5 cents worth of oil per month.
anyone who thinks that bikes are a loss of sovereignty has never ridden a bike
Probably the most liberating moment of my life, prior to graduating college, was the day I got my first bicycle. They're just orders of magnitude more efficient than walking. They're functionally all-terrain. They're free to operate, easy to use, and dirt-cheap to maintain. Possibly man's most perfect invention. I Love Bike.

I got my bike fixed last week and it's made such a massive difference to my physical and mental health it's crazy
