So how many of you out there has a car? I've recently given mine up in the name of my pocket book and mother earth.

    I still have one even though I'm sorely tempted to give it up. I'm certainly riding my bike and walking more, though. Which is good.

      Where I live and with my current job, it would be impossible for me to give up my car. However, last night, when I opened the bill for the credit card that we only use for gas, and it was $280, I decided I have to figure something out.

    I had several motor vehicles in the mid to late 80's but have been getting along with only bicycles since 1996 or thereabouts. I keep one bicycle current, and I have two spares (one presently has two flat tires and the other is missing parts easily transferred from the working bike). I invested in reasonably good panniers and a rack, and I also have a homemade bike trailer I use on laundry day (when and if!)

    My company gave me a 4.00 flex pass for the bus, and I'm using the hell out of it.

    Then again I don't have the option of a car currently anyhow..
