Or am ..."Does capitalism have that much power? Or am I just too weak to resist shallow cultural trends?"<br /><br />Capitalism probably has that much power...but in this case, who cares? Does it really matter the reason behind why people want to buy bikes? It is very possible that the majority of people who are suddenly 'ecofriendly' are only doing it because they wish to fit in with what is more accepted now in society. So for the case of environmentalism, the power of consumer capitalism may be a good thing.<br /><br />On the flip side, there could be an evolutionary perspective. Are you simply admiring the better bikes because they are superior to yours, they look sturdier, and are thus safer and better for your own survival? Or even further...what if you see the bike's minimal carbon footprint as essential to the survival of the earth, therefore the human species? This would make the bike-loving hipsters extremely evolved human beings!annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00635773473710404310noreply@blogger.com
