That is why the car free idea is so foreign to the thinking in our society. It requires people to sit down and plan or slow down and think and we are trained to rush at the tings we do. Hurry and do your homework, hurry and get a job. Hurry to finish that deadline. Learn to Multi-task. We as a society have embraced microwaves, remote controls, (can you even get a TV without a remote?) Fast food, jet air travel and yes the computer and Cell phone because we just can't wait.

For those that see cycling as an alternative it is a source of freedom. For those, the majority, that have fully embraced technology cycling is a step back into a world we have long left.

That is simply part of the struggle car free faces. The motor vehicle is the answer to all those that say, it is too hot, too cold, to late too far and there isn't enough time. Every other method to get from point A to point B requires planning. It is an attitude that will take a very long time to change if it ever is.

It remindes me of when you posted the question about using AC. When I first read the question I simply asked myself this question, if I have it why wouldn't I use it? I never even considered not having it or having it and not using it. Yet when I didn't have it where we used to live I never thought about it one way or the other.
