But then I started riding my bicycle later into the season, and earlier in spring until one year, I rode right through the winter except for the occasional really bad day when I took the bus. That gave me time to build up equipment etc.
When he finally totalled the car and we had to go car free, it wasn't much different to me.
That sounds good. Like I have my gf's car but I don't want to be a burden. I told her if I go carfree Id fill up her tank if I ever used her car. But here in Rhode Island seeing bike commuters are few and far between. But there is always uber for the occasional ride. Plus technically I only need to ride 3-4 times a week anyways during the winter.
