Bicycle Fixation - Common Sense

Here is an article about perception, really. Also about how what we see as normal can sound pretty outrageous when placed in a certain context. One of my favorite quotes from the article:

And I thought, if some alien intelligence were to look in on this spectacle, which for us is normal daily life, they would consider us mad.

You'd be hard put to design a system more wasteful of money, natural resources, time and human mental well-being. To add insult to injury, it often even fails to deliver its basic stated purpose: convenient transportation of goods and people from one place to another.

Yes, it is about riding bikes.
