Everything is good in moderation the saying goes and it is true. The car is not a problem when deployed in moderation but it is not. Our lives today are literally overrun by lazy people who think their car is a natural extension of their legs. Well it is not and its time we make our cities more enjoyable to be in by getting rid of the car. Hicksvilleans and outerburbians can happily take their cars from one to the other but in the city and its inner burbs the car has no business.
We have personally chosen not to have a car at all. The reason is mostly that if we do have a car we will start using it and we will start thinking that our car is a natural extension of our legs. See we are no better than any other autoholic out there and we have found that it is best to simply remove the car from your life altogether and force your self to create a car free lifestyle. Once you have done this you will sneer at the weak minds of all the car addicts that have not worked it out yet and wonder what the hell you were ever thinking ever to have had a car.
Suzanne now rides her cool new bike to work every day, about 6-7km from our home and into the city. I sometimes come along just for the ride. Once we get into the city we will always have left in our wake hundreds of autoholics stuck in their metal boxes waiting for a little space on the road to continue their journey. They definitely haven’t worked it out yet!
