Yeah, that's not a bad idea.
I eased into being car free. For several years my ex-husband had the car and I rarely saw it so I got used to taking the bus, cycling or walking places. In the winter, I'd take the bus or occasionally beg a ride from him. But then I started riding my bicycle later into the season, and earlier in spring until one year, I rode right through the winter except for the occasional really bad day when I took the bus. That gave me time to build up equipment etc.
When he finally totalled the car and we had to go car free, it wasn't much different to me.
