Not enough time to type accurately it seems. Or even make much
sense. I did stipulate that successful cycling is country
specific. In some countries city cycling is much faster than
average vehicle traffic speeds and has been for decades. But do
have nice commute. No doubt the time you [think you] save in the
car will be amply repaid in hospital time somewhere down the
road.


You are hallucianting. Get help, dude. Seriously. Before you hurt
yourself.

Do try to remember:
You cannot insult anybody who does not respect you.


And yet, you seem to have hurt feelings.

You merely insult your own intelligence.


I know you do.

Always assuming there was any to insult in the first place. ;-)

And you *still* refuse to respond to any of the very real issues
with EVs that I've brought up. And you will *never* do so, because
you *know* I'm right.

In the event of hills, an electrically assisted cycle might be
an option. At least until you become reasonably fit.


Your mileage may vary.


Ride a bicycle to work?

I know you are not the only person to suggest this, but my
immediate reaction is: are you kidding?

There are two kinds of work. One is physical labor, in which
case tiring oneself out by the physical exertion of riding a
bicycle to it is not a good idea. The other is office work. In
general, offices don't include showers and changing facilities,
so one is not advised to work up a sweat by the process of
getting to work.


People willing to hire someone as stupid and delusional as Chris
are likely used to their employees not bathing and not doing much.

(Not that he could hold down a job at this age anyway. The dude
can't be more than 12.)

In any case, this is all very well, but when it is raining,
windy, or the temperature is well below freezing, again, riding
a bicycle is an unattractive choice.

In any case, this is retrogression.


This is Chris admitting I'm right by trying to change the subject
to *anything* other than his refusal to address the real issues
with his insane fantasy. He nearly makes you look sane.

The correct movement away
from the cars of today is towards flying cars, not towards
bicycles. That is progress!

Yeah, that'll be good for the environment.

The word "delusional" is inappropriate here, since it means
something different than "having a different opinion than
mine".


Well, of course he is claiming that Chris' arguments


He has no arguments. Only assertions,

are flawed,


aer bull****

being based, in part, on an inadequate understanding of certain
facts.


Being based, entirely, on Chris being delusional and stupid.

Well, of course he is claiming that Chris' arguments are flawed, being based, in
part, on an inadequate understanding of certain facts. The word "delusional" may
still be inappropriate, but at least it is being used to refer to a
misperception of reality, rather than merely a difference of opinion - so the
inappropriateness is one of degree rather than of kind.

Ever heard about the electric bicycle?


Quaddie lives in Canda. Ever hear of winter? Snow?

Regarding bicycling in cold weather: physical exercise keeps you
warm.

You've clearly never lived in a place that has real winter. You'll
deny it, of course, then go on to say something that will prove me
right.

I means exactly what I think it means: "believing something is
real when it's not." Another word is "hallucinating."



You're not really any better, though you're not quite as
stupid. Almost, but not quite.


And you are infallible?


Yes.

Ha ha ha ha ha......

You are funny, it is true. In both senses.

True. Educated guesses work much better.

Also, the equation E=mc^2 means that the added weight of a full

battery, as
opposed to a full gas tank, is negligible.
