I don’t remember anyone saying millenials would drive less, just that we wouldn’t be able to afford a car if we kept eating so much avocado toast. I was born in 89 and learning to drive was still a huge coming-of-age among my peers.
- SauciestGNU 3y agoWe're similar ages and I absolutely agree that the personal automobile played a huge role in my personal and social development. But then I discovered bicycles and something clicked in my brain with active transport and how fun it is and how healthy it makes me feel. Then I got hit by a drunk driver on my bike and since then I'm a subscriber of the "fuck cars" beliefs.
