Poor man's form of transport?

It ain't about psychology of transport.... it cost me almost zero money to get to work each day whereas everyone else spends money. I don't know why people think that is something to be ashamed of ... I think it is fucking excellent.

I think you've invalidated your first sentence with the mention of shame right there (self pwn :) ). No, it's all about what motivates people and why. I totally sympathise with your desire to do something with little fuss and at little cost, but many people immediately associate this with a desire to be less interconnected with others, both those who do what's considered 'normal' but also those for whom you might go for help and services for your transport. Having seemingly fewer connections and seemingly wanting to spend less on yourself (apparently lower standard of living in their eyes) causes many to disapprove. So, yes, the psychology of transport choices largely does involve the psychology of transport choices. :)
