Speaking of assumptions, some BF enthusiasts don't understand that commuting on a bicycle is NOT necessarily a life choice based on a desire to be healthier, nor a desire to reduce fossil fuel use, nor just to reduce dependence on motor vehicles.
Get over yourself, some people ride a bike for their commute because they can't afford other means, some people ride a bicycle for their commute because they like to ride their bicycle, and are not making a "life choice".
