I am lucky enough to be able to afford to live in a location where I can get to where I need to go by bike or on foot. I am lucky enough to be employed on a day shift so that I don't have to commute when I think it's unsafe. I am lucky that my family has grown so that I don't really have any one I need to schlep around anymore.
