kurremkarm,

I'm with you 100%. I too made the great decisions to 1) get rid of car due to expense and 2) kicked the smoking (partly due to expense). Both were surprisingly easy - cold turkey on both. I'll grant you that it was probably the 5th + time I quit smoking, but it stuck this time. Regardless, kurremkarm, I'm glad you said it. I love riding my bike, but I'm not one to turn down a lift from a friend and I'll take the train across town rather than biking all the way (unless it is just a beautiful and I want to be outside, i.e. multi-tasking).
