This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
You cycled for 300km for fun. You didn't cycle 240km to another city with a 10kg boardgame hanging off your back, taking your dog and gf with you, while it was -15c and snow drifts in winter. And you had to get back home by a certain time in the evening for another thing.
I did this described trip with a train and I won't do it again without a car. Public transit is only as good as its schedule is frequent and stops are closeby.
I didn't say cycling 300km was the most convenient way to travel such a distance, just that travelling long distances by bike is doable.
People don't want bike as a hobby they want it as a viable way to go a to b. Bikes are not a viable method of travel for anything that is further than 30minutes and without hills. Ebikes shoot up viability greatly though.
