[QUOTE="Umaro, post: 58504731, member: 172976"] I for the life of me can't figure out why people prefer cars for most of their day to day activities. I can understand things like going to work, most people don't want to bike in a suit for instance. But by and large 80% of your day should be able to be biked to. When I was growing up in FL, the closest grocery store was a 20 minute car drive. Now that I'm on my own I specifically found a place to live that let's me walk or bike there, throw stuff in my backpack, and walk or bike back. I would never drive regularly again if I could get away with it. Cars are drastically more expensive than people usually realize, and often take more time away from you than people realize. I still have to drive to work due to company policy (though they provide and pay for ALL of the cars needs, which is awesome), and it kills me that I leave my house at 7:00 and get there at 7:45, unless it's a day where I leave my house at 7:00 and get there at 8:30 for absolutely no reason traffic. When I'm biking everywhere else in my life (company car is only for company business), I know exactly how long it will take me every time. [/QUOTE]
