Hello everyone. I am from Cleveland, Ohio. I have been car free my entire life since having a severe panic attack driving my first car at age sixteen. I pulled into a local gas station and gave the keys to a lady there, signed the title over to her and walk home. I haven't driven since then and will not drive again. it has been 23 years now and I love riding. I don't even get in cars except for a dire emergency that is life threatening. and even then I try to avoid it if I can. I still have the bad anxiety attacks but not nearly as bad as if I were to get in a car. I love to play guitar and mandolin. I have three wonderful kids and a grandaughter. My girlfriend is awesome. Her daughter lives with us and we also have two of her granddaughters living with us as well. They are my strength when times get rough. I will post pics as I find the areas on here for them.
