        Don’t know if you’ve heard of the concept, but it is possible to own both a car and several bikes and use the one most suited for the task. I know it can be a daunting challenge for people like you to conceptualize a reality that isn’t based on binary extremes, but stay with me: you take your bicycle for short trips and commutes within the city, but use a car for occasional 400-mile trips. You can even take your bicycle with you in the car if you want to be really woke.

        Mind-blowing, am I right? Apologies if this revelation has caused your worldview to collapse.

          I think this is what he was getting at though. Bikes would not be best suited for his hypothetical here.

        How often do you drive 400 miles? I live on the prairies and do it maybe once month. You know what I do? Rent. It’s cheaper than owning a large vehicle for occasional trips. I have a smaller daily driver but don’t take it on long trips or into the mountains.
