First of all, some people need cars to get to a job. But here's the funny thing. I've heard some people who live steps away from a subway and work steps away from a subway but still buy a car so they can get to work. Does that make sense?

Great video. Not having a car isn't a big deal whatsoever and I'm seriously considering getting rid of mine. I've had a car and I haven't had a car, and overall I was a lot happier when I didn't. I could choose jobs based on what I actually wanted to do, not based on a car payment, insurance, gas, etc. I rode my bike to work and I was 24 lbs lighter back then and that was only 2 years ago. It gets to a point when quality of life is more important than material possesions. We're not our stuff.

@BayAreaBiker2001 Hi from Santa Cruz, although I'm a French native. I have never owned a car and have always been a pedestrian and recenlty (2 years ago going strong) became a cyclist!! I LOVE it!

I have now lived without a car for a total of 4 years in the states, it is tough but I am doing it now, and I hope to continue. Been car free in South Carolina for 2 years, people think I am nuts, but I love it for the most part.
It is actually much easier to live without a car in other countries I have found, so I may go back to my travelling ways!
Happy biking/walking everyone! Peace

I have never had a car. I have biked to six counties. I have biked to Oakland, Sausalito, Santa Cruz, Gilroy, Half Moon Bay, San Francisco, Woodside, Portola Valley, Fremont, and Pacifica. I have walked to San Jose, Saratoga, Redwood City, almost made it to Campbell, and Palo Alto.
If anyone comes across a better quality version of this video let me know. Thanks.
