With respect, Roody:

Why does it matter? I've been coming to this subforum for a long time, been without a car a LOT longer (I also maintain the DL, 'just in case'), and I wind up driving a family member's car probably 2-3x/year. The fact that I have family in the household who own cars, and contribute car use to care for the household, would lead me to call myself 'car-lite'. But let's just keep it simple.

We ride our bikes so much, they have replaced cars as 'centric' to the needs of our lives. THAT, to me, is the core of this subforum. Whether you or someone else is 'further along' the line in the quest for total car-independence is irrelevant, we share the desire to do something other than drive everywhere. We all have had experiences and challenges that others of a like mind could benefit from, that's why we have this outlet.

It's a different way of life, that's all; no need to profile ourselves.
