I know I know, bike riders will say that that's only because "our infrastructure" is tuned for those evil automobiles (one of the economic factors why we we have running water, electricity, and the internet in the West) and must change to suit a world where the majority commutes by bike.<br />I've been reading this blog for a while - I came for your spot-on, cynical view on modern Japan. But the way you are not able to reflect on the fact that you're simply a snob whose real motivation for commuting by bike is to feel superior to whoever you identified as the "dumb masses", and not the environment or energy reserves. And it made you bitter. Has ever the idea crossed your mind that people rather drive cars because they don't want to become one of those embittered guys they see on bikes in traffic?
