Car-Less For Twelve Years

Been cycling everywhere I need to go when the distance and weather permits. Commuter rails and subways when I head into the big city but not much of that out here.
Anyone else done the same thing?

Nope. I need a car to get around to school and work.
School is in the middle of nowhere, about 15 minutes out of town, and work is 30 miles, one town over.

yeah, it's a shame that you have to live in a big city to be able to do that. whatever happened to slef-sustaining rural communities.

Yeah, it's a felony for me to drive because I am a habitual trafic violator. I lost my license for 5 years. It's been 3 1/2. I have a little 49.5 cc scooter that I drive around. I took the governor off so that it will do 50 mph. Don't tell the fuzz!!

Me? Not that I know of.
If I had to use a magazine as the basis for a username I do believe it would be mondo2000.

HAHAHA. I do, I do. It's just ...see, it isn't defaulted like ...say, Slashdot. And since it's not the default layout, nobody uses it. And since nobody uses it, I don't bother looking.
I HAAAAAAAAAATE UBB. Why can't there be a column in the "my posts" area that shows how many replies have been made since that post? It blows because (a) clicking on every single thread I've commented in to see if someone replied is stupid and (b) replies to posts I've long since forgotten go unreplied-to.
So ...sorry about that.

I don't live in a big enough city for this to be an option, but I did recently pick up a moped...

I dont drive either. I am an avid cyclist and ride the el, buses, or taxes when necessary. mostly I ride my bike. this is pretty common where I live - you dont need a car. in fact, having a car is a huge burden.

I am primarily a bicycle commuter, although for the last two weeks I have been having somewhat of a relapse. Since I do own a car, (a shitty ass old saturn i got for free) I seem to end up driving around 40 or 50 times a year. Right now I am on empty though, so I'll probably be parking it for awhile. It is kinda nice to have though, as I really only hate riding in july, and the super cold days in janurary and february.
