    Sometimes I use my bike when I go to see some of my friends.

    A bit obsolete this thing about “owning” a bike. Bike subscriptions are way more convenient!

    Also it’s harder to track you when you are using this old-fashioned “dumb” bike.

      About a quarter of one’s salary had to be earmarked for voluntary subscriptions, which were so numerous that it was difficult to keep track of them.

      (From 1984 by George Orwell)

      But just a quarter seems too optimistic though.

        I thought you were making that up because it was too relevant, so I grabbed my copy and there it is 🙃 one of these days you will be vaporized. You see too clearly.
