So, I bought my new bike a month ago and love riding it.
Do you guys drive any vehicle?
I always wondered why everyone drove cars in the West rather than bikes. Yes, I know cars are cheap there and motorcycles are like a fashion/sport thing. But really, over here bikes are way better for a single person. Costs less than a fourth that of a car, very fuel efficient, no parking troubles and fun to ride.
Thoughts?

I drive a bike with a piece of cardboard in the back wheel making it sound as if it had an engine. One reason people have more cars than motorcycles, at least here up north, would be because much of the year it's too cold to take the motorcycle wherever you go. If you have the choice to buy a bike you can ride only during late spring to early autumn, or a car that works all year round, most people choose the car. Also, distances. Sweden has ONE city with over a million inhabitants, Stockholm, and perhaps 3 or 4 with 400,000-700,000 inhabitants. In between those, especially the northern half of the country, much less people live, and getting from A to B and actually bringing something with you is hard and time-consuming without a car.
