It dawned on me that cycling instead of driving is like printing my own money, but I get a work out too. So that is good!
But something startling occurred to me last night. I was just starting a 10 mile (give or take) drive to a community group meeting. I felt this feeling as though I was really inconvenienced by having to drive instead of bike. I felt like: "This sucks. I'd rather be cycling..."
If this emotional reaction grows, then I may be able to cultivate a resolve in myself to go car-free in a reasonable time frame.
Anybody else have revelations like this about going car-lite or car-free?
