Do you predict you'll be carfree for the next 5 years?

I predict this thread will still be active and still be full of posts completely ignoring current reality and in many cases firmly rooted only in science fiction of a denial of established fact.

I predict you will continue posting in it despite an obvious rejection of the premise and those of us who respect it.

New LIDAR unit developed by a Silicon Valley company which relocated to Orlando FL to such talent out of UCF's world class optics college. Details to follow.
Too science-fictiony?

nope, snows here.. did last 3 days, I have a studded tire fitted bike for that..
Having a car back here was no benefit flying to Europe for a couple bike tours..
When I came back I moved out of a city to a town, friend with a truck..
Next week back above freezing , to rain again.

I get enough petty insults like yours here that I don't have to look in the mirror to see how ugly my writing is to some people. Still, I continue doing my best to say what is good, right, and true because what else would I do with my energy, have a pity party?

Insults? Just my perspective about your perspective. You have the freedom to scribble as you wish, and likewise I have the same freedom. Is this not just ONE point of FT?
We have the freedom to have differing opinions and to express them. Freedom to deem differing opinions as insulting is also one's freedom. Now I have the freedom to choose your comment about "trolling" to be flippant, and thus of no consequence to me. Carry on as you wish - it is your life ... You have the freedom to party as you wish - as we all do.
However, I have the right (and freedom) to differ with you if I disagree with your comnent/attitude.

Your interpretation is tedious and based on your emotional interpretation. I don't need to insult anyone -just another "freedom" that I exercise. You have the "freedom" to believe me - or not.
Please allow me the "freedom" to stop this "dialogue of the deaf" and retire for the night. Work calls tomorrow...

Bikes aren't the sole means of transportation. Just a select segment of the population choose to do it.
Which is why 5 years from the start of this thread nothing will be different other than there might be more electric and hybrid cars on the road.
True Story.

It is the only segment where I expect much growth. But to Really gain traction cities and suburbs will need to boost cycling infrastructure greatly and until there are a lot more e-bikers, there won't be an y need for that.
If all the pedal-powered cyclists switched to e-bikes ... might get the ball rolling ... but not happening.
