I was surprised to hear this...but more power to you if you can rock out with what you have. I also have not owned a car since 2007. It is a great feeling. I had to drive around a jeep for a minute while my bike was in the shop and I was blown away at how much my income was affected by the purchase of gas, not to mention that city driving is stressful.
Where are you touring next? How long? When and where are you leaving from?
