Welcome aboard. You've joined an elite group. We are the 1/10 of a percent who have figured out that life really is better if you're not forced into your car everyday.
You'll see. Yes, it takes effort, but not as much as people think. And yes, it can be uncomfortable. But not nearly as much as most people think. Most of the time it feels very, very good. And it gives at least 1000% return on your investment. And that's an underestimate, if anything.
If you just stick with it until it's second nature --you'll be surprised at how quickly this comes-- you'll find that you're halfway to nirvana.
