    I live in a rural area, driving is basically a requirement. I’ve gotten to the point where I’ve driven for so long that, I don’t really want to drive in cities anymore. Too many stupid people. I’d be happy to drive to the city limits, then hop a bus/train/subway/bicycle/scooter/electric riding thing to where I need to go.

    I only still have a car because I live in such a remote area and there’s literally nowhere nearby to go if you can’t drive. It’s literally an all day outing if you want to go to the nearest city by any method other than a vehicle.

    I’ve been working from home the last few years and my car only really gets use when I’m called to a site for work, or running errands on weekends. I literally only travel maybe 30 hours of driving a year. This is in contrast to doing more like 60 hours behind the wheel every month before COVID…

    IDK what you people are doing in cities, but “bike friendly” shouldn’t be a conversation or debate. It should be the rule. However, far be it for me to tell you city folk what to do.
