I do everything you've said, essentially 'by accident'. I don't have a car, don't fly, and don't live in a remote area. It's basically a function of how good the infrastructure is. If you live in a dense city, with good cycle lanes, and decent train connections, you don't really need a car. Not flying is also enabled by this. Everybody could definitely live like this. I would actually prefer it - cars degrade my cycling experience. I think it's just a function of shit urban planning that makes this impossible in some places. It would be a major social change, but no more major than everybody moving out of cities and into suburbs in the first place.
