I don't necessarily agree with this. You may be coming from the perspective of someone who was/is a Clyde, but in my current car-ownership situation, none of these activities would be an issue at all. I know lots of people who ride bikes
and own motor vehicles, and are very physically active and fit all those parameters that you ascribe to being "car-free".
