This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

European here. Most of what I need are within 2 miles, so for most things everyday I ride a bike. For things further away, there's great public transportation. For when we need to transport bigger things or go where it's hard to go by public transport, we do have a car. However, the car gets used at most once per week.

We wouldn't strictly need a car either. There's several car pools around where you can book a car for a few hours when you need it.

Non european here, the only reason I don't have a bike is because of space and hassle (have a tiny apartment with no garage), I could and would do my commute and most errands on bike, it would even be easier and faster.
