    some people care DEEPLY about what kind of car everyone drives. that’s literally why overpriced cars even exist

      As a bike rider, doesn’t that skew even more the relative advantage you get by not giving a fuck? If nobody wants a “weak” car, they should be even cheaper than in a sane market that values cars by their ability to go fast and accurately from A to B, no?

        No, because they pay out the nose for huge SUVs these days which increases the chance they’ll kill us cyclists.

        Eh, it also means relatively fewer weak cars are being built. So it helps, but not as much as you’d think.
