Well, what are you going to do about it? I'm making a big assumption here regarding your motives. So's you don't need to make any assumptions regarding me, I'll be biking to work. And I have no need, nor desire for nega-trolling.

I set cars on fire.

I slash them tires.

I put thermite on their hood in the design of a smile! 😊

I bash them windows in!

Molotov cocktails all day long.

No doubt! Even though I live in an area which has snow six months of the year, I'm planning on getting myself a bicycle to get around for basic things like going to work or smaller shopping trips. The less I can use the car, the better.
