I’m surprised so many people are taking this at face value. It’s satire, right? This bit leans into it hard:

> If it was raining, obviously, I couldn’t reasonably be expected to ride my bike. Or in the winter months when it’s a bit dark in the mornings, or when it got too cold, or when I was just a bit too tired. Let’s be reasonable here.

I guess it’s satirizing people who carve out tiny pockets of differentiation from others then mentally inflate it into some kind of deep uniqueness.
