We've been car-free with two kids for the past 3 years, and don't miss it other than that.
Hiking in the woods is nice, but (sub)urban hiking can be good too. Just remember that wherever you are hiking used to be devoid of everything human-made and people just gradually added more and more buildings and pavement between the trees and other soil-growth they left alive instead of clearing away and replacing it.
