when you are a cyclist, you would drive cars much less fast since you're already visualizing how faster you're than a bike, and you have much more attention and respect to bikes of course
What I dislike even more than noise, is smoking. Smokers stink all day, sometimes smoke gets in via doors/windows and wind streams, it has always been my worst trouble, to avoid that
silly but true, just google "everest damages". Me sitting in front of a laptop, using my bike as transport, I've an infinitesimal fingerprint on environment. Most people don't care, but still doing a trip there + the amount of energy and material spent (from the fabrication process to transport) on it, damages much more than driving in car during all that period
Which should have priority to cars!
