my dad used to ride his bike to work so my mom could have the car. He did buy himself a car when I was 5, but we moved and left it behind. He had a J.C. Higgins 3 speed. He was a pretty good Sturmey Archer mechanic, I was always afraid to take them apart until recently.

We never had 2 cars until after they divorced when I was in my late teens. My mother started riding after that, she did have a car, but I guess she liked the exercise.
