Gentlemen, I am not going to take the time to clean up this thread. However it is obvious that some of you have little intent here beyond causing problems, baiting and picking fights. It took only a few posts on the first page for this to start and it seems to continue for the next several pages of this thread. The Car Free forum is usually one of the less problematic areas of BikeForums and I expect that to continue from this point forward. Else I will be more than happy to let one of our new moderators use this thread as an exercise in how to clean up a mess.
To the OP - congrats on your plans and living car free. I wish I will one day live in an area that I can reduce my car usage by 50% let alone 100%. Best of luck to you.
