I’m curious. I know where my life diverged and where I would’ve been a car guy otherwise, would be interested to see what the dealio with other people is or whether they even ever thought about it

    Honestly never really thought of it. I’ve used public transit my entire life and occasionally ride bikes.

    When I was a kid I always dreamed of having a car, but the older I got and more I dealt with cars as a pedestrian (including being struck by one in a low velocity collision), the more I grew to dislike them in a city environment.

    Then I always hear what a pain in the ass it can be to own one and that more or less solidified my car-free life.

    As for bikes specifically, I usually rent out a bike when the weather is nice. I’ve been doing a lot of walking/running this year so I haven’t ridden as much as I have in recent years but I’ll probably get back to it later this summer.
