I got rid of my car in October 2009. Ever since then I have been living carfree and biking. My roommate has a car, but I use it only rarely. Whenever I can, I bike to meetings, to conferences, to the store, to the farmer's market. Today we went on a bikeride for fun.
It makes me happy that I don't have to pay for gas or car insurance anymore, though of course I give my friend money for gas sometimes. My life is so much less stressful now that I don't have a car.
A way I could help decrease my use of power even further is to get a black bag to run to the showerhead, and put on the roof, full of water. That way we could have a hot shower whenever we want one.
Because I bike everywhere, I'm in good shape, plus, I don't have one of those boring health club memberships that no one seems to use. So I save power and money by not going there too.
