I agree with the premise here, but want to add, that you mentioned driving, which can be freeing—there's nothing like being able to go for thousands of kilometers on a whim.
But in most real world contexts, driving feels like a prison. Trapped in a little box, surrounded by angry people in steel and plastic death traps, inhaling carbon monoxide, or air-conditioning, being surveilled and having a literally number that allows anyone to arbitrarily dox you to authorities for some trivial action.
Being on a bike, by contrast, is pure freedom and I don't think it comes up often enough in people's comments on escaping control. People always reference cars, which require such an immense system of interconnected public and private services to exist. Not to mention they are surveillance machines. I believe this is because cars are a money trap, so the american propaghanda machine wants people to associate them with freedom so people can never experience real freedom.
tl;dr good cast, needs more bikes. 1 reply
