Some car free neighbors have bikes but only use them for recreation. Just off the top of my head I'd say most car free people on my block don't use their bikes for transport. If you don't ride the thing, then it just takes up space and complicates your life so why not get rid of it? I know bike free people aren't on the Bike Forums but they're out there.

My office move has been put on hold while the various divisions fight over floor space in the new building, so I get to keep my effortless exercise.
