I go six months or more sometimes without driving a car but it never seems to bother me if I have to drive again for some reason. Usually it is when I travel for work and the bicycle or public transportation isn't an option. Doesn't bother me but it doesn't make me want to drive more either. I am however looking into getting an electric motorcycle. I've never cared for motorcycles very much because of the noise and fumes but I've got a reservation on one of these. They should be available next summer. I'll power it with my PV system. I think the motorcycle will be useful for when I need to get somewhere faster than I can bicycle or when it isn't practical to show up all sweaty. I don't think it will cut into my bicycling but we shall see. I'm not sure why people see their choice as between a car and a bicycle when motorcycles are another alternative.
