I unexpectedly and luckily became car free.
my old 97' Buick finally broke down on fathers day, after 160k+ miles needs a new transmission.
and just happened the day before that my cousin (he as been car-free all his life 33yo and he is a Triathlete too) give me a rescued trek 820 to motivate me to loose some weight 345lbs.
So far I have put 70 miles on the bike, my daily commute is 4 miles each way + errands.
The changes that I have noticed: seems that I have lost some weight, I feel awesome in the morning (used to drink 2-3 16oz cups of coffee due to slow metabolism) not anymore, Sleep better, better mood.
I feel soooo happy and better now, that I gues is like rebirth, as my fitness lever gets better I'm looking to relocate maybe 6-8 or more miles away from work, so I can drive more !
