Yes, it is shocking how rude folks on this forum are. One would think that riding bicycles would improve moods, which evidence indicates is not the case.
Don't ask a silly question if you don't expect a silly answer.

Taxis can get expensive quick, yes.. but so can owning a car. One or two ~40km round trip taxi rides here equates to about a month of just the cost of a month's auto insurance. Also, multiple alternate solutions noted.

Correct me if I'm wrong in my assumption but I don't picture the average "car free" parents living in a rural nowhere, 50 miles from the nearest town. I'd like to hear from them also.
It annoys me when they are portrayed as hapless rubes for not owning a car. Your questions imply that.
