Given that's a greentext, legitimately expected anon to somehow get injured or killed by some not paying attention driver on unsafe road or something. Glad he didn't.

My job is 15 mountainy miles away, and when I show up drenched in bicycle sweat everyone in the office says I smell bad
People shouldn't live that far away from their workplaces. They didn't used to, before we invented shitboxes.

I do think it's funny that America has the worst traffic in the western world, yet in Europe we can get by just fine with roads built by people that even the Romans considered to be ancient.
It has to be said that people from one place underestimate the other...
In Europe, 100 miles is a long distance.
In America, 100 years is a long time.
That's because Europeans invest in all forms of transport, so you don't get people who can't fathom the concept of taking any trip from point A to B in anything other than a car.
Edit: not sure why I'm getting downvoted. I think Europe does it way better if that wasn't obvious

Ngl, I have a nice ass and legs. Nice compliments, too! It's worth it to bike everywhere if your city allows it
I forgot to mention that the cost of repairs is also dirt cheap here.
I can't bicycle anywhere. Well, at least my commute would be certain death, There is a nice bike trail a few miles away but I'd have buy a bike and a rack for my car to haul it over there. Can barely afford the car.

1 gal of gas: ~29k calories - $4.609
~29k calories of rice: ~$600 <-- sus math btw 🤔
It's simple: drink the gas.
okay, update:
my math was wrong. new cost of rice: ~$11.5 (ordering in bulk)
CONCLUSION
Drink the gas.
If you bike regularly, you actually don't spend more calories. You only see calorie burn uptick when first taking on new exercise, which falls off over time back to your usual normal calorie cost. Because of this, that calorie cost for a biker is calorie intake they'd already consume even if they didn't bike. It's essentially free, in contrast to the gas of the car which is always a cost.
Checkmate liberal. /s
Yeah but I don't have to carry an actual ton of weight on my bike.

100 grams of raw white rice is 365 calories, meaning that it's about 3650 calories per kg. 29k calories of rice is 8 kilograms.
Where are you buying rice that it costs $75/kg???
I did my math wrong lol
Found some at 66c/lb. Need 17.5 lbs. $11.5 👌
If you drink a whole canister of gas, that's enough to cover your nutritional needs for the rest of your life!

And park directly in the immediate front of the building I'm visiting. No circling around and around without finding a space to park my overly expensive rust box. Just arrive, lock the bike to a post and be there.
Totally different experience in that aspect alone.
Hm... Is there any law that says I can't ride my bike in the store? 🤔
Sure would make shopping faster.
idk about bikes, but I saw some madlads rolling slowly on their electric scooters in shops
