How much energy, time and effort does the average jerkoff American waste trying to get the biggest house or apartment they can afford within limits, the highest paying career, the car they feel they can show off the most, the perfect lawn, etc.? Well don't do that and instead spend a fraction of that effort to relocate somewhere else that is more friendly to a car-free lifestyle than somewhere where need to travel 50 miles in a day to abandon the disgusting car.
According to AAA, owning and operating a car costs the average American $9,000 a year!
It is very simple, I don't know what you expect us to tell you, that we have some magic beans? 50 miles a day just to get your daily affairs done is a ridiculous amount for most people that have not been doing structured training for years. Even then it is a ridiculous time commitment anyway, regardless if you are one of the most fit cyclists. It means you are living in a very bad locale that is disgusting suburbia or a rural wasteland.
