What Mz said. I'm doing this living-without-a-car experiment as well, and it's one of the best things I've ever done. Like Mz, I just walk, and take public transportation, and don't use a bike. It's great walking around, getting more exercise, talking to neighbors, noticing the weather and the landscape and people's gardens. Oddly, after my last full-time gig ended, and I was "doing nothing," it seemed at first that I needed a car. To do nothing! The fuller realization of how much money, fuel, and environmental damage is caused by (often unnecessary activity in) the standard car-owning American lifestyle deepened my commitment to mindful choices in all aspects of how I live.
