I quickly realized all my buts could basically be rebutted by different buts, the most compelling being "But it takes 30 minutes to walk there, and only 10 to bike!" That did it. Didn't even know about hand signals, but it worked out. ;) “But I might get hit by a car…” I quickly realized all my buts could basically be rebutted by different buts, the most compelling being “But it takes 30 minutes to walk there, and only 10 to bike!” That did it.
