Only when I started biking did I realize how much space a bike took vs how much space a car took, how much resources and money was spent for bikes and how much for cars, how much negative externalities bikes cause vs how much cars cause. Many people I know tried to commute by bike but stopped because of how dangerous biking is (due to modern city planning). People like me who are young, single and male are more willing to take risks. So people like me continue to bike and continue to be annoyed by how much resources are given to cars vs bikes. If you want to see a diverse group of bikes, look at the Netherlands. There or is much safer to bike, so you will see more diversity. You'll see bikers who are old and young, male and female (not too many Indians, Chinese, Native Americans, or middle easterns, but that's more for geopolitical reasons).

People cringe at Michael Scott, and he's just a character, who an actor is reading lines, prepared by from a committee, for. I know some people who can't watch Scott's tots because of how empathetic embarrassed it makes them feel.

What I find weird and annoying is that we call people who are against Islams as Islamophobics. For the most part they are not afraid of Muslims, but rather hate them. I think there reason for calling them -phobics is because it is a way to make fun of them. They are not a strong force fighting people who they hate, but rather scaredy-cats who should be ridiculed.

They deserve to be paid whatever people are willing to pay. Just as if people rack up debt in order to go on a "useless", those people should be responsible for repaying their debt.

Not everyone that is taught at college causes an educated population. Underwater basket weaving - like course cause more harm than good.
