A couple of articles I've read about interesting people who are carfree.
Like 80 year old New York photographer Bill Cunningham who seems to have been on bike many of those years

Also, most interesting character, David de Rothschild, who hangs out in San Francisco, is carfree and is building a boat to head out to Eastern Garbage Patch ( a zone filled with plastic detritus) in the Pacific ocean on board a boat with a hull of recycled water bottles !!
