I’ve gone car-free and I’ve got to say there is little I NEED it for. When I do it’s a good time to call up my sister for a day of chat, lunch and shopping.
A year of bike repair (shockingly inexpensive after years of car repairs), a rain suit, rubber boots and a motorcycle helmet for the winter chill cost about a month’s worth of car insurance and gas, never mind a loan payment. Living nearer to my work means my commute is shorter, even including a bit of summer sweat wash-up time.
