When that’s their form of transportation why would you not expect their life not to revolve around a car? When I went car free at first, I notice a couple less people in my life, other car less people (who wish they had a car) who I picked up and gave rides, maybe help them run a couple of errands. Who kind of disappeared or became unavailable when I was no longer able to give them a free ride, don’t miss those people in my life, and really helped show the dynamic of those friendships. My friends who do have cars and still hang out with do think I am odd about being car-free, but most of them haven’t met anyone who has made that type of transportation change by choice.
