Yeah, I can relate. I sold my car a couple of years ago and have never missed driving. Frankly, I didn't like owning a car and the expense of paying for something I didn't like. I DO like cycling a lot. I take the bus and train nearly every day too. And I walk a lot.
As far as the day to day needs, it reminds me more of when I was young living the UK before moving to North America. My granny lived alone and never had a car. She walked uptown to get what she needed. When I shop, it's a bit like that old world culture. I shop frequently, often on my way home from work, and pick up what I need or feel like having for dinner. Two bags maximum or whatever fits in a backpack. I'd like to set something up with a rack just because I think it would be cool to haul something a tad bigger at times. Even then I'd still do frequent trips to get fresh produce and see people I've met from the incidental social aspect of loitering around in public more often.
If I'm buying something massive like furniture (which doesn't happen often) delivery is an option. There's mail order for the obscure bits that I'd have to use anyway. And for the odd night out where I miss the last bus service (I have a part time job at a bar) a taxi. I've had some fantastic late night world politics discussions with really cool people that way.
