Car sharing seems to bee much too expensive, but the enterprise is right up the street. I Have a feeling that going car free is more a mental hurdle than anything else. All the problems are solvable, if one is willing to give it a go.
I have a question. Is the "problem"
owning a motor vehicle or
using one at all? In other words, are miles run up on a rental or borrowed car somehow better than if done with a motor vehicle the cyclist owns and uses when necessary?
Most of these various threads on this forum give me the impression that "car-free" for most posters means car-
ownership-free. The economic advantages of not owning (and renting/borrowing) can be demonstrated in some cases, especially for those living a very simple lifestyle in a location with good public transportation to every worthwhile destination.
Besides this economic advantage (in some cases) what other positive points are assumed to be earned/gained for the ownership free?
