People who use bicycles instead of cars? Is it working for you? |
How many miles on average do you cycle a day? I'm thinking about selling my stupid car and start using a bicycle. Do you think that's a good idea? I would never give up my car, but if you are seriously considering doing this, just be sure you have really good friends that will be willing to drive you around when you need to buy stuff that doesn't fit on your bike. For example, let's say you need to buy a new microwave; you can't exactly carry that home in a backpack, so you will need the use of a car. Like it was suggested above, seriously try living without a car for a week or two, and see if you can manage before you make such a big decision. I bike about 10 miles each way to work, i have a shower there so i can be clean. i live in orlando where the traffic is bad and th drivers are worse so it can be dangerous sometimes. Make sure you have worked out the small details before you sell your car. You should try to only use your bike for all of your transportaation needs so you can be sure selling your car is good idea. i'll trade you my stupid bike for your stupid car...seriously,though..a bike is probably the most efficient form of transportation there is,and there are so many upsides, for instance....economy,exersize ,air quality...do it(but hang on to the car for awhile, just in case) I ride my bike to work when I can and love it. I can't do all my shopping on it though, so I still have my car. if I could, I'd get rid of my car, too. think about how much you might have to carry on your bike and what you'll do it the weather is bad and you can't safely ride it. i use a hummer limo :) I couldn't get away with it 100% without putting some serious kinks in my lifestyle, but it does save me a ton of money on gas. It also is a timesaver. I'd put in quite a bit of time working out regardless, but now commute time and workout time are the same thing. i commute 12 miles one way on my bike just about every day. and i love it . i actually get upset on day that i dont get to ride. as for selling the car, i wouldnt. i just drove my truck for the first time in over a month but it is nice to know its there if i need it. some times alarms dont go off or like stated above you need to move large things. my bike paid for itself in gas with in a few months (low end bike, gas guzzler truck). im in way better shape and im generally happier (endorphins). ive also gotten into distance riding as a result where i have made new friends and buisness contacts as well as opening the door to charity rides to up my karma. all in all a positive choice. just dont sell the car they are handy to have around. |
