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:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

car go further faster, and car more useful when not in big city.
For this, bike friendly cities have good public transport (bus/tram/metro) and bike shares
Most cities aren't big enough to be bike friendly or have public transport at all, let alone good public transport (as an issue of not enough taxes to do it bc small and not enough demand for private section either).
Small cities are super nice for biking. Where are you from?
Don't want to be too specific but I'm from a small town in east texas with ~1,300 people.
Heard that US sucks... Seems to be true everytime. Small towns in japan are really nice for bicycles, as well as big cities. The medium ones are hit or miss
the town is half farm bro it's as dense as it can be without the local economy collapsing. not to mention the entire thing is built around the intersection of two highways so to walk anywhere you have to cross two of the most semi-truck covered highways in the state (just a consequence of position relative to several much larger cities along those highways). even if we built the infrastructure it simply wouldn't be safe and the distances would simply be too long, and considering we can't even afford to keep the schools open all 5 days (this is the actual official reason we switched to a four-day week) I doubt there is enough taxes to add any infrastructure. this is not a flaw of the US, the town is just too small (in terms of population) to support what you are talking about.
