Only use the car in town about once every two weeks to pick up pizza. Also now hardly ever listen to music while cycling and listen almost 100% to audio books while riding. Read lots of good ones while multi-tasking in this manner.

Don't think I would enjoy cycling much if I got obsessive about all the peripheral competitive "stuff" associated with Correct Bicycling™ as posted on BF.
