Would you still be an advocate of car-free? Why?
I don't like that we build machines with engines to do the most basic things like getting to work, while we sit idly, and whine that we can't lose the fat. It's backwards. I get a kick out of using
human powered transportation most of the time. I mean geezus, do we really need machines to transport us a few miles?
Also, if the potential of causing accidents and harming others would still be great, I wouldn't be very sympathetic to using it either.
