Having no car and living with someone else who does doesn't count. As does living in London where having no car is a very sensible idea. I would find it quite odd to have no car in Leeds as the public transport is a joke and it's very hilly so walking isn't much fun. If I had a Pan European then I could just about imagine it but not an SV. I could never give my mum a lift anywhere, never take more than one person out in the car, couldn't take my mtb out to the hills, no trips to Ikea, B&Q etc...the compromise is too great.

There's a Tesco a mile away. 2 miles is to short a journey for the SV. It'd barely be warmed up by then. Netto is closer but the other customers sometimes smell and this affects my sensitive olfactory system...
I need some mudguards and lights for my MTB and maybe a rack on the back. |

The two problems I have with getting rid of the car are
1. Winter riding - Sometimes isnt possible in snow/ice. The weather and salt are bad for the bike 2 Security - Im an electrician so am always on different sites. Parking is sometimes on very muddy/bumpy surfaces. And there is nowhere secure to put my helmet/leathers as tools etc are always getting nicked. |
