I assume you are not suffering from serious car dependency. Those that
do tend to avoid the use of a bicycle and have even been known to have
an anti-cyclist agenda. Like most addictions it is very difficult to
cure and that is why more people do not cycle.


Can you explain why I don't cycle to work Doug, you seem to know all
about such things?

Because at some point you have made the decision to render your
lifestyle totally car dependent which enables you to live a longer
distance from your choice of workplace and makes cycling impractical.

Alternatively, you are too soft or lazy to brave the elements on a
bicycle and don't care about any health benefits from the resulting
exercise.

OTOH, it is just possible that you work from home.

Maybe you would care to simply give the reason instead of expecting me
to guess it.

Indeed I do for most of the week, but because I own a car & use it when
it is the best choice for me, Doug tells me that I am dependant on a car.
