We got rid of our car when we moved to the Netherlands and love the carless life! When I do need one, I rent one. We're lucky to have some caresharing services around, so I can just open a car with my phone and pay by the hour. The longer we're carless, the more I look at our streets in amazement, it's so ridiculous how much space we're giving to cars! I do think it's going to be really hard to get people separated from then though. What makes you so optimistic in that regard?
our long tail bike is -by far- the best purchase we've ever made: https://objet.cc/mathilde/long-tail-family-bike
Been reminded of Keynes quotes today and I think he also said ‘the difficulty lies not so much in developing new ideas but escaping old ones’
