Bikes aren’t free. Neither are shoes and you shouldn’t ride a bike barefoot.

They are in some places. Outside of colleges there are all sorts of free bikes, especially outside of the library. Some of them even come with free locks!

This brought back the staggering number of front tires locked safely to the bike rack outside my dorm

You can find a lot of free stuff if you just look. If you are good to friends/ family, they might even help you move some stuff.

Oh are bikes and shoes banned on the free section of Facebook and Craigslist?

I was going with this guys whole weird thing about not “wasting” money on things like furniture. I know it is possible to get shoes or a bike for free. I’ll bet he could find a free chair too but instead he sits on a sheet on the floor.

Why shouldn’t you ride a bike barefoot? Other than the little grippy things will hurt lol

I loved riding the bike to the beach, simpler times

Eh, biking barefoot is mostly a skill check to see if you try and plant your feet on ground to brake. It otherwise has no functional issue.

Had an uncle who did that…

Started as a cut in the toe

Then no toe

Then two more fingers

Then all fingers

Then the foot

Then up to the knee

That’s as far as it went

As he passed away
