I walk everywhere. To school, to library, to work, home. Tt walks everywhere. We specifically chose our workplace and home around this lifestyle.

I ride my bike when it's just out of a walkable range. Tt drives us to the grocery store once a week. We could get their by mass transit, but it is less expensive to use his diesel car. Used to go grocery shopping by bike, until I needed to shop for more than just myself.

Tt occasionally chooses to drive me someplace after dark, when he is concerned about my safety.

I own a fuel efficient car. My car is garaged a few hundred miles away from where I live and I only use it on vacations. I like driving it through the mountains, to the beach, and to a nice little church.

I also drive (on vacations) when I go out with a specific friend whose physical disabilities prevent her from walking distances greater than 400 meters.

I hold no frustration nor animosity for those who choose to construct their lives differently. I simply do not have the temperament to live out of a car - I've tried. This works better.
