    Except for the monthly finance payment, the legal obligation to insurance companies, the dependance on oil companies, etc"

      Don’t forget the fact that you can be randomly stopped and forced to provide documentation that you’re legally required to carry in order to operate the machine… Unlike a bike, which you can just ride wherever.

      Oh… And yeah, and most bikes don’t have computers in them that can tell on you to the cops if asked.

      But yeah… Freedom.

        I mean I think in my state you still have to have iD for some reason while biking, also it’s illegal to ride on the sidewalk, which everyone still does but if a cop forgot his donut that day he’s got a reason to hassle you

        And don’t forget all of the other cars making it harder for you to get where you want to go, whether you’re in one or not.
