How close does your family live to you? Rough radius?
How old are you?
Urban or rural?
Not me, don't even expect to be when my time comes (in another 18-20 yrs.).
One of my own, three more of my sister's.
Next closest relative, and I've seen him once this decade, is 5 mi. away. Others are 19mi., 300 mi., 1300 mi. Parents are both gone (sniff! I'm an ORPHAN!)
Corner of urban and suburban....
Been car-free for 3-1/2 years; it was a choice -- replace the car or keep the house. I think I made the right choice. Besides, I miss the bike every day I'm not on it.
Somebody once said, "sex is like air...it's not a big deal 'til you're not gettin' any." Well, the bike and riding IS a big deal, whether I'm riding or not -- so does that make riding more important than sex?
