to get paid!!!
and because fuck owning a car and all the baggage that comes with it. to bike is to be free.
and anyone who rides knows its as addicting as smack.
All of the above...and I realized that if I kept driving, I would probably end up killing myself, someone else or both. I've always hated driving (didn't get a license until 25) and I find it to be the most profoundly frustrating experience. I had that epiphany a couple of years ago, and have managed to put less than 100 miles on my car during that time.
1) It's twice as fast as riding the CTA pretty much anywhere in the city
2) Keeps me healthy
3) Is pretty much totally addictive
4) It's just so damn fun! Right on Jason!
