I cut the financial bleeding and ditched my car.

Now I happily ride my bikes.

And if its too far to ride to get what I need, I buy online.

There’s seldom reason for me to drive these days.

I an 20 miles form town and can hardly walk anymore. If I could walk I could hike 19 miles to catch the bus I pay for.

EPA wants to increase ethanol in gas to 15% which would destroy lawn mowers and old cars.

If you can make your situation work without a car, that's great. But the way our infrastructure is build these days, many people are trapped in a very small area if they don't have a car, even if they were willing to travel by foot or bike...You can't walk down a superhighway.

Plus, to me and, I'm sure, millions of other people, a car is freedom. Who doesn't remember the thrill of their first beater, the sudden ability to go anywhere?

You are the exception to the rule. How would you ever commute kids to all of their events? I like bicycles, but they are not made for transportation.

Well, that’s pretty special.
