If you use your bike for 50 miles a year, why do you even need that thing?

I don't. I don't need a bicycle at all.

The only reason most Americans outside NYC and Chicago ride a bike is leisure. Well, that or too many DUIs if we're being honest.

Ideally though if I had something like this it would encourage me to use my bicycle more.

  • I suspect you underestimate the number of utility cyclists. People on bikes take a lot less space than people on SUVs and pickup trucks, so it is easy to underestimate their numbers.

  • Do you live in New England? Because any adult I see on a BMX I automatically assume has lost their license. Just wondering if it’s regional.
