I also just began running errands by bike. Our lease was up on our mini van and with the nicer weather I felt it was not necessary to replace it just yet. Having one vehicle is working out just fine, husband drives me to the train station in the morning, we lock up my bike to a light post in town for me to be ready to ride home. Hubby prefers to take me in the morning. If I need anything at the store it is by bike. I take the car on Sundays to do the bulk of my shopping. I am really liking this. Today is fog an mist as is expected for the week so my few miles riding home should be interesting. I put a plastic bag over my seat so it is dry when I am riding home and I am wearing a rain jacket.
I have a train friend that would be happy to drive me even part way home, but I really rather ride as I want to hold off on getting another car until the fall if possible because I am just not feeling that inconvenienced by us having one car.
