5:57 dude looked like the Unabomber

I’ve been car free and have been commuting to work by bike for close to two months now (with many of those commutes being 13 miles one way) and I’ve been loving it. I never want to go back to car commuting and I’m considering staying car free forever.

😊 20 year car fee you are so right

Great talking points.

$1000 a month car payments,, no comment ... Yeah, midwest is where i live . I've ridden in cold , and the wind chill is what is dangerous. Wind breakers , and even your crotch area need windbreakers for the wind. Just watch that you also dont sweat, or over heat, and breathable vents on your clothes , because if you do sweat or wet, that's not too good either. Im not hard-core if it drops too low in temperature.

Took me a while to figure out which direction your left elbow was bent

I had to quit driving due to a medical condition bought a bicycle to get around and for the most part i dont miss not having a car.

Wool products c'mon man why support these brutal industries when there are ethical brands of clothing that work better, it's 2024, wake up to the suffering of our animal freinds and end their plight, you would want the same if you were in their situation.

I've been doing it since 1972 in Indiana, Texas, Florida and Arizona, and find this video to be spot on. I did learn some things. Terrific information, thanks.

Car free in Houston for 5 years. I don’t worry about rain. I sweat thinking about sweating so I’m going to get wet. This past summer was tough - over 100 for many days. My commute is 10 miles each way but it’s do-able. Grocery shopping and shopping for anything is possible. Just get creative.

Hey, just for reference. How tall are you?

Where i live that bike would last a day before its stolen.

What colour is your Rhake? Is that Moss or Grey? Great video by the way.

I've been car free for 13 years. It's easily one of the best decisions I've ever made!

I recognize St. Louis when I see it! I recently totaled my car at the Skinker exit on 40 and I’ve relied on my bike since. I just take my bike on the metrolink or bus. Stl transit works best in tandem with bike

Excellent encouraging video‼️❣️

car free baby matt! <3

Gore wear and ass fenders. Noted.

step 1 buy a bike. step 2 sell the car

I have Brompton and - its love at first ride. Works great, unparalled for stopping for a beer on the way home - roll right into the pub.

I did this for a few years in Calgary and Vancouver. The key is to buy a mountain bike with some shocks and have a small trailer. The winter is pretty simple as you will just try different clothes that work for you. The hardest part are the hills, in the rain or snow and the crazy amount of wind sometimes. Biking put me in the best shape of my life easily. Also be sure to bike slowly as this will keep your cortisol levels low and help you keep a low body fat percentage which also makes biking easier.

Thinking about ditching cars. My car just shit the bed and I live in greater Boston, plenty of walking/biking distance jobs. Winters have been getting milder

i've been living without a car since 2015, i feel like i just need to sit in front of a camera and talk about why i did that and explain to my friends and family lol

I'm 67 and never learned to drive any motorized vehicles. Been bike touring 41 years since 1982. 1982 to 2018 I worked 3 months each summer so I could bike tour September to May. I retired from work in January 2018. Now I tour the same months but get social security.

To keep cycling enjoyable, keep it serviced by a professional, tyres pumped up, your body hydrated and stomach full to avoid running out of energy. This way, any wind or hills that you encounter will be at least bearable.

My current job has me driving for them. I'd like to avoid paying the cost for the car but I need the money. Finding a job is really tough rn and my skills are limited. What can I do?

I used to bike commute 20+ miles too. Then with the money i saved by not running a car i could afford to move to the city where i worked. Bikes are the fastest thing round a city. Sweet ride btw, SS rules ✊

I’ll stick to a car thanks ! Kind of difficult carrying tools on a bike

I sold 3 of my cars for a road bike

That's a hefty daily ride .nice work, 🍺

.... I'm a cyclist since 14 years old anyway but I sold my mint condition 1990 Mercury Cougar Bostonian more than a year ago (68,000 original miles) and while I miss the luxury of that car I miss nothing else!!!!! Thank you for posting this information; it's really helpful and supportive. Kind regards.

I'm a fan of making big changes slowly. There's a lot involved in going carless. I've done it for periods of my life. At other times it would have been very difficult or impossible - for example if your partner is disabled or chronically ill. Important thing is to be flexible.

I've never had a car a single day in my life... and it was upsetting to be quite honest. Seeing all the people that I knew getting their own vehicle and I'm just left behind..I was staying with a relative more than several years ago and I was very vocal about working towards a car (which is what I was doing at that time but situations and circumstances KEPT GETTING IN THE WAY!!) So she said to me "look there's a nice bicycle".. and I was like "you've got to be kidding me!!! Bikes are for kids or less fortunate people". Yes I did say that at the time because I wasn't looking for a bicycle. But long story short...that rusty blue bike at some pawn shop I reluctantly got and fell in love with it....then some unfortunate things happened.... fast forward to now...I have my second bicycle and now I love the two wheeled life.. maybe one day I'll evolve into getting a motorcycle if things go well

I often ride my bicycle when solo, but with 4 children i still need a car to get evwryone from point A to point B. And, no, im not letting my children ride in the painted bike gutters with cars whizzing around.

The metal at the beginning doesn’t fit at all lol

Became car free in June 2022. No regrets so far!

I love biking but you have to be realistic especially if you cross bridges or tunnels I bike more for enjoyment n use my car sparingly….. nice video though….

i haven't owned a gas vehicle for 15 years. Public transport is everywhere in asia and for the other 90% of travel it's the bicycle. Not sure the "west" it would be so easy

I got rid of the car, and im 59 years old and ride my bike to an Amazon warehouse , my Roomate says im going to have to get another car as ill get too old to ride, yeah right.

ive been on my fixie for almost a year now, legs are stumps, lungs are back, wallet is a little thicker.

For 20 yrs I didn’t have a car cause I lived in NYC. But then I moved out to Long island NY where everyone has a car. But I still am bicycle only. Not only is it cheaper, but it keeps me in great shape. Perhaps I’ll get an electric car someday. In a pinch I can call an uber… but my bike is all I need really. 🚴 👍🏼

But that's not the American way! The American way is to spend tons of money on car, tons of money on gym subscription (that you never use) and then wonder why you are both penniless and not fit.

Aspirational!! 😅 If I am ever pain free one day, I would love to take my bike out again. Thank you for sharing the good life!

One less Car!

Well said. Very inspirational. 🚲

Your video is very inspiring. Thank you!

I refuse to get a single speed.

How long is it taking you to ride 20 miles on a fixie

What bike was that with the blue frame and pink/ white stripes. Gods, I wish it were easier to find Ruch-style bikes!

Excellent! Just what I needed. Thanks for sharing, as finding the right cloths for my long rides in the cold is imperative. Good job.
