Or want to head across town and get there in 2 hours on the bus, or 2 hours on the bike, and get soaked in the rain and drenched in sweat?

It takes some sacrifices to bike. Want to head 200 miles away with the family? One heck of a hard 200 mile bike ride... OR take some some kind of motorized transportation.

Head off to a trail 50 miles away with a horses for everyone. A day or two of riding to the there, or an hour in the pickup?

Living car free may be good for some people, but certainly not everyone all the time. And do you "cheat" with public transportation, or do you live your life in the circle you can reach on your two feet and bicycle?

It is easy to equate cars with their drivers. But in reality, they are just simple tools being used for a job.
