Just dropping in to say it's possible to own a #car *and* prefer getting around by other modes most of the time.
Habituation to #driving is not an insurmountable obstacle to reducing #automobile dependency and creating safer, greener, more resilient cities. Habits can be broken if the right supports are available at the right time.
@DrTCombs I've seen people drive to visit a neighbor and then realized they did more walking than if they had just walked - but they are so in the habit of driving everywhere it didn't occur to them they didn't have to drive.
@DrTCombs The more people walk and bike places, the more others see people using that and think maybe I could do. I started using the bus when I often saw a bus while driving to work, after a few months I decided I should look to see if the bus would work for me and it turns out it did. (I've lived other places where the bus would not work so I had given up on even looking when I move)
Note that I said going places. Where I live you see a lot of people out exercising on bikes. However they drive when they are going places. They think nothing about a 20 mile bike ride on a nice day, but it doesn't occur to them they could ride their bike to get groceries or to work. They often drive their bike to one of our nice bike trails around here instead of riding from home to the trail.
