Awesome! Now vote representatives in based on their active transport infrastructure plans! 18% would swing almost any election! Cargo bikes and the ever growing range of micromobility options are great but as ever safe infrastructure is key! The great news is that once it's built out ongoing maintenance is negligible compared with the endless march of pothole repairs, adding 'one more lane' and resurfacing car infrastructure requires!

I would love to live without a car. But my town seems hell bent on making nothing walkable.

Same - riding public transit? No big deal. Walking 2 miles to the nearest bus stop with no shade when its 95+ freedom degrees out in the summer, only to have to transfer twice to get to the pharmacy to pick up my meds? Kinda frustrating.

I'd do it, if I could find a decent velomobile for winter.

The main issue for us is groceries. There are just no grocery sources within 5 minutes without a car.

Any delivery options? $10/week in tips still is far cheaper than a car insurance alone. Of course picking out better produce is an advantage of in-person.
