For you "never get/need a car!" people. How does one manage time? Say you are invited to a party, or some social gathering. Maybe a last minute lunch/dinner. What do you do when you only have X amount of minutes to get somewhere? Could owning just a bike cause social problems?

I also like having a car for emergencies or having to drive a loved one somewhere when they can't. What do you do when you have to tell your friend you can't drive him to the ER because he just ate some poison of some kind and you both are car free? (dont say call 911)

These are situations that I as a person can't risk dealing with. I would just like to know a car free persons view and argument on this.


I'm 18, I used to ride my bike everywhere but I stopped when I got a car. I also moved to corn fields and it was a 20 minute drive to my school... so don't hate, it was forced.
