My car stays in my garage 80% of the week, I only use it when visiting other cities on the weekends. I chose a relatively dense Brazilian city and I do everything here by bike or on foot (about 6-8mi per day). People have started noticing that I'm looking healthier, fitter. It'd be very very hard to do the same in any American city other than New York, you people are trapped.
