This thread is fuckin nuts, glad for the kid but a lot of people in here need to get a grip.
Read the article and look at the context.
I understand where you're coming from but "fresh air" in Texas heat? No thanks.
Edit: Holy moley people with the "but why no bicycle?" schtick, you get it, I get it, we all get it. But maybe it's not what the dude wants and or is not really applicable to his situation/living conditions atm.
Late response, but I'm from Texas lol. I still need fresh air, otherwise it actually feels like my breathing gets worse. Went five miles (biking) on track just for fresh air in 93 and an ungodly humidity rate just the other day. Mind you, that's an entirely different thing than biking to work and I know that. Nobody would want to see you at work after that (five miles), you'd be unpresentably sweaty. I would definitely still drive 4/5 times to work, even if it was only a mile away. But at least once a week I'd be dying to actually have some air outside of an air conditioned house/car/workplace.
...alternatively, one could always walk/run/bike after work. Yeah, that's probably the best route here.
But yeah, I am not at all saying he
should have had a bike. For me it's more like a, "I actually enjoy this and think they may, too." It's a fun activity that I think more people should at least give a chance!
I'm going to admit that I didn't read the whole article or watch the video until just now. That really is awesome for Justin. This will definitely make his life a lot easier. Also didn't catch the bit about the year's insurance, oil changes, and those gas cards until just now. That will REALLY make his life better! Sounds like he's a great part of the community, he fully deserved this showing of kindness.
