Bike riding years nearing an end... #2

For years, I asked myself, do you really need a car? Is it still OK to ride a bike for so long after you could afford a car? For so long after you have gotten yourself cars?

Well, I just could not stop riding a bike! For the wellbeing of our society, for Vision 2020, for the financial health of the parents around me, I just could not stop riding a bike!

You see, kids nowadays do not know the hard and cruel reality that earning money is not easy! See how many of them kids have Gameboy Advance, PSP and those cool MP3 players? All those cost marnie!

They just know that there are machines you put your cards in them, press some numbers and you get marnie from it. Oh, if the machines doesn't work, you always have cards in gold or platinum color where you just give to the cashiers and draw some tortoise, then you get the stuff you wanted to buy. As simple as that!

Oh, it is a norm to the kids that parents go missing from early morning till late at nite every working day. They never know how the parents work till their guts out just to get a better life for the kids! Hey, maybe the kids think it's cool to be adults as they can go out all day long while they have to stay at home!

Parents need role model to let their kids learn from. Who else is better than me? Now the mums can point to me and say to the kids, "see the cute guy on the bike? If you keep on spending and not study hard, you will end up like him riding a bike!"

Or they could say during rainy days, "see that sexy guy with the wet white t-shirt clinging to his well built body as if he wears nothing? If you don't study hard, you will end up like him riding a bike under the rain!"

Or in the evening after fetching their kids from tuition classes or tennis lessons, "see that macho guy with the short showing his tighs covered with dark and shiny hair? If you don't study/learn hard, you will end up like him riding against the strong and cold wind while still wearing that wet t-shirt!"

So, you tell me, how can I stop riding a bike? If riding a bike could help the progress of our country, how could I stop riding a bike?!
