A more relaxed weekend

It's Saturday and raining outside and I need to travel 4 miles to buy some clothes. There's a car in my driveway, but I'm avoiding using it... Still, I'll postpone my bike trip for a little. It might stop raining later.

One thing I notice about using a bicycle for transportation is that Saturdays are a lot more relaxing. There's no need to rush around town doing errands. Actually, somehow... most of those errands turn out to be unecessary. If the weather is nice, I get a very enjoyable bike ride while doing the absolutely necessary chores. If the weather is not nice, I might just read a book...

Anyone else notice a more peaceful existence w/o cars on the weekend?
