I'm 121 days into a 3 year hiatus from driving (self-imposed) now that my transmission died in the Vanagon and I refuse to drive my 66 bus for any utilitarian purposes.

SO what that means is my wife takes the public bus, my kid rides the school bus and I ride my bike/public transportation everywhere.

This helps eliminate my road-rage mentality that I've been working on improving over the last couple years.

On a high note, I just confirmed I'm riding 35 miles to a 63 mile road race and then riding the 35 miles home afterwards for fun - and conned 3 others from the LBS to do the same.
