Because it's harder to kill someone by hitting them with it.
But in all seriousness, you can go a lot farther, a lot faster, across much worse terrain and weather in a car than a bike.
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.

"Just leave it anywhere there is a secure structure" - Yes, I see this regularly when I have to maneuver around bikes carelessly "parked" in the middle of the pedestrian walkway...
That is annoying indeed. It is usually the result of missing infrastructure (bike racks) though, which is way less expensive and consumes way less space that equivalent car parkings. There are also always assholes, but in Tallinn for example I love the bike racks I can open with my public transport card, I can't imagine anybody leaving a bike in the middle of the street (having to tie it up) when you have a close, secure and convenient rack nearby.
