RAINS...WTF!!!!!!!.....Man down here it ALWAYS rains. So if ur not gonna ride in the rain. You might as well not even have a bike, hehe....Theres 2 excuses that ALOT of people down here like to use.

#1....Its too hot
#2....Its too cold

Re: who only has a bike

Don't do it.

Cons:

-You can't get grocerys.
-order and pick up take out
-take some hot **** to dinner. What girl wants to get dressed up and go on the back of a bike?
-You go somewhere, like the bar, and you have to worry about your gear.
-How do you buy anything, in general, and get it home?
-Rain. I don't care who you are, its a pain in the *** just to run down to the 7-11 on your bike in the rain.
-You have to leave your bike where ever you go. If its a piece, **** it. But i wouldn't wanna leave my nice bike outside the movie theater or nothin.


Ain't worth it, to save a couple bucks in gas.

And even people who say they ride everywhere, still have their car to pick up stuff.

Re: who only has a bike

i rode all summer, drove literally three times until it snowed, dont regret 1 bit, you can do almost anything you can with a beater car for carrying stuff, just got to innovative, i can ride with 3 or more large pizzas and 2 2liters of soda no problem.
