Yeah, but you guys have the Autobahn.

I think my neighbors were surprised. I kind of like it. Shows them I'm a well rounded car buff. Sports car (Porsche), station wagon (S6), sensible family car (MDX), and beater business truck (Toyota). And, just to make the point I'm not just an idiot that wastes our resources burning gas all the time...I ride my bike to work everyday, rain or shine. 10 miles round trip. Not bad right?

right, we have the autobahn, but.... there is always a traffic jam going on and maybe an 20% of the autobahn net you can drive without a speedlimit, mostly they are restricted to 130km/h, because we have to save the enviroment !!!!!! no shit !!!! nobody cares about china, if there explodes a coal factory, it doesn't matter what happen to the enviroment.
Driving with the bike every day is good, i did that some years ago, it's funny if it's rain and you are filled with water everywhere.
