Car free = Loser? 無車=無能嗎？

In Hollywood, Living Car-Free Means You're a Loser

If you don't have a car, regardless the color or your skin or how much money you made, chances are riding the streets of Los Angeles means you will be treated like a second-class citizen and be discriminated against.

Writer Vanderbilt puts cyclists portrayed in movies into two categories: nerds and sexual deviants. So why does Hollywood give the car-free such a hard time? "We could attribute it to the simple fact of the film industry's base in Los Angeles, a place whose residents—film directors and otherwise—can hardly imagine life without a car," says Vanderbilt.

So, what you think? Do you think no car = loser? fully story

無車=無能嗎？

在洛杉磯這個幾乎人人以車代步的城市，無車族似乎無時無刻面對著遭到歧視的對待。一些人提倡節能減碳，選擇以單車代步，然而不管他們的膚色與收入多少，都會被視作二等公民。為什麼會這樣呢？因為好萊塢的電影中，把沒有車的人影射成無能的人。有身份地位的人，往往都是以豪華名貴轎車代步的。

在公路上，汽車也不會因為單車族「皮包鐵」而給予禮讓，很多時間單車族都是心驚膽跳地上路。即然大家同樣賦稅，為何不能共享公路呢？希望開車的大爺們行行好，下次看到單車族在路上時，麻煩展現出一點風度，大家和睦共處世界才會更美好！
