It might not seem like it would make a difference, yeah one trip riding your bike a couple miles instead of driving isn't going to dethrone elon, but you're spending $10k/yr just to play along with a shitty system that makes you miserable & wastes 20-25% of your life. Every trip that you don't use a car is a direct financial & mental + physical health benefit to yourself while directly withholding money from fossil fuel companies & car dealers. Biking in car traffic is scary, rain is wet...

It will take some effort to overthrow #carSupremacy and its buddy #fascism, a little bit of effort from a lot of people. But it's going to take effort to do anything besides being complacent. Walking / running, doing your errands by e-bike, riding the bus, all increase the amount of casual social interaction that's needed to build democracy. Understanding how your city, county, and state governments and budgets work and how much is wasted on car infrastructure, is eye-opening + impactful.
