    This is why I’m anti bike in addition to being anti car. You have two legs, that is all you ever need. If it’s too far for you to walk then it’s not worth going.

      Are you also anti-shoe? I imagine all rubberized treads would do this to some degree. My guess is that temperature and speed matter.

      I guess you could use clogs or geta or something.

      Yeah but then our oceans would be filled with sneaker dust instead of tire death and we’d be right back to square one!
