Not had a car in 10 years, only drive about once a year in a rental. My bike is a trek but can't remember the model. My shoes are from Asics

I never got around to renewing my Drivers license back in 2015 so longer drive. Still have my Trek bike that only occasionally gets ridden.  Otherwise, people say they get around by BMW around here, Bus, MRT, and Walk

Driving a 2016 Camry, but about to enter the market as I enter a new phase of my career and life...looking at Mercedes SUV's perhaps something in the GLE class. I really would like a Dodge Viper, the used ones are pretty affordable, but with kids it is not going to happen or be allowed right now lol

I've got an '94 Ford Explorer (like this). Parents bought it new when I was 10. I bought it from them when I was 30. Still in excellent shape. I've got the passenger seats out for maximum haulage.

I haven't had a car this year. I got to the stage where I felt I didn't want/need a car. Also travelling to Sheffield for work was getting more and more expensive,
petrol and parking could easily amount to £75 per week. I've never been a heavy car user anyway, add to the fact I'm able to work from home the need for a car
is even less so. I'm more than happy to travel by bus and tram (see photos below ;D). A combined day bus and tram ticket, a 'Day Tripper' costs about £5, absolute bargain.



I'm intrigued by the number of cyclists on the forum and I think it's something I might consider. I like the fatbike in Antares post,
I think something like that would be Ideal for cycling in and around Sheffield/North Derbyshire for me :)


...edit. Think I might start doing more walking ;D
