Bikes are also powered by your manly body. In a truck, some woman or gay can push the gas pedal as well as you, but on a bike, your power proves your worth.

You can also fix a bike, even if you're a manlet with minimal tools. These days, fixing a truck requires buying some kind of diagnostic kit, probably made in china.

Iran or some other far away place you couldn't find on a map can mess with the oil supply and make it too expensive for your truck. Bikes are powered by food, and a real man has a garden and grows his own food as well as delicious spices.
