have you changed your life for cycling?

Thanks everybody, for your replies. I enjoyed reading your stories, even those that were off topic, heh heh.

My partner and I need to sit down and revisit our life goals and decide what we want to do. We're hoping to retire or go to a part time situation very early (we're currently 41 and 36) to give us more time for cycling and other pursuits. And in addition to not having good proximity to cycling in our new place, it costs us a lot to live here. Yes we can 'afford' it and yes, it's a beautiful home but we're coming to the realization that it may set us back in terms of other life goals that are more important.

Happy Holidays Everyone!

I, too, make decisions with cycling in the process. In Richmond, my house was chosen in part because finally I was close enough to bike to work (though I didn't do it religiously like I do now). I don't want to have to drive.
When I need to travel... how will I work in some cycling? (If necessary, how will I find a different way to exercise?)
When I bought a car: will the bike fit?
Bicycling is a big part of who I am and what I do now.
