Do you drive a car, or ride a bike?

Question

I don't need a car where I live. I commute by riding my bike, and use it for recreation. I travel by train and plane too.

I drive a car... but not that much. The grocery store is within walking distance, which is convenient... I only buy what I can carry. I also work mostly from home, so my car stays idle most of the time.

Congrats on being in The Netherlands, the most eco-friendly country on the planet, where bikes are more important than cars in cities. If we had dedicated bike lanes in the US, I would ride my bike more, but we don't and riding a bike on main roads with cars that don't care about bikes is too dangerous.

Bike. I CAN drive and have done a good bit of it (driving the band home from gigs in Erie (3 hours) and Youngstown (90:00)) but, I've never had a car or a license. Better to have a completely sober guy without a license driving than a very drunk and high guy with a license driving!!
One night, we finished in Y-town and it only took us about 2:00 to get to the ramp onto the highway and, by the time Tim got to the top of the ramp, he fell asleep and hit the side wall on the ramp!!

Now that I have a job in the city, I’m considering selling my car and use that money towards paying off rent, because yes, I’ll have the metro, Uber and bicycling at my disposal… you’re a smart girl, and if your healthy, young and active, it’s a nice lifestyle without the stress of a mechanical breakdown, traffic and costly repairs and maintenance

Bikes hurt my butt, and either my legs are too long for the pedals or my arms too short for the handlebars. The worst in the pain down there. I don't understand how anyone finds them comfortable.

I drive around 1000 miles per week on average. I am an Audio Video Integrator, and I have to bring tools and supplies and parts (including things like TVs and speakers) to my customers' homes and businesses, without which I could not do my job, so not driving isn't an option. I also operate in a relatively large area.

Staximus · Answer

Drive a car. The public transportation is crap around here. Downtown it's ok, but I live in the suburbs and some of the busses only come by once every hour or 30 minutes. It takes up a lot of time and stops running at 10 pm, and I always get out of work later than that.

Both. In the city I use a bike. On long distances, a car or a train if there is a station nearby.

scentoflavender · Answer

I live in the rural country and frequently pick up and drop off material. So I have a truck.

bowenw · Answer

Usually a car as the closest amenities like grocery stores are approximately 21 km away and there is no bus/train service.

I do both. I bike to work each day and use my truck when I have to. I often drive to trails on the weekend and bike around for the day.

I drive a car. I just got it though. Before I didn’t and just walked and used public transportation. I was in Korea then.

RavVid · Answer

Trams for me. Trains go vaguely where you want to go but trams go down the street you want to go. Much better.

Drive a car. Unless you live in an urban center a car has been engineered by the American experience into a virtual necessity. It's funny how a car has been sold to as freedom to go anywhere but the reality has become our shackles.

Yes to both if bike means motorcycle, and quite often it is a pickup not a car.
