This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

yeah well it's been very successful in expanding bike commuting, but success just brings more problems.

like i don't commute by car because it was slow and miserable. how they have made commuting by bike slow and miserable because they added so much bullshit too it and too many people do it now. e-bikes also really messed stuff up because you have people going 20-30mph whereas before bikes they were going like 10-15mph, and the former is way more dangerous. i fucking hate ebike riders.

but hey at least the subway got upgraded so it's now faster than taking a bike.

My least favorite part about riding on bike trails is le peloton -- the mass of riders all gabbing with each other and not paying the slightest bit of attention to what's right in front of them and crowding up to take over the entire lane. I can't count the number of times I've been literally run off the trail by this shit.

I make anpoint of slamming on the brakes and skidding and stopping right in front of them. Wake up, assholes!
