What do you do if you need to go somewhere outside the city? For instance, my mom lives 80 miles away and nowhere near public transit. How would you get there?
I took/take bus, train. But now...I bike.

I don't drive, but he has his driver's license. he also has a sleep disorder where he cannot drive beyond 200 kms. daily. It's a huge struggle for him to stay awake behind the steering wheel. He is also cyclist.

It doesn't bother me. Riding a bike also made me realize how much I was missing out on my own region.

You have to realize I grew up poor..5 children in a 1-bedroom apt. in Ontario. ..before parents bought an old house for growing family. My father was a restaurant cook. We couldn't afford a car until I was 15 yrs. old. So really, I lived in a household with a car for only 6 yrs. of my 49 yrs. in life.

We rent a car..um..1-3 times annually.

Believe me, I've saved enough money over the years. Actually abit shocking when I make conservative estimate
