Honestly never really thought of it. I've used public transit my entire life and occasionally ride bikes.
When I was a kid I always dreamed of having a car, but the older I got and more I dealt with cars as a pedestrian (including being struck by one in a low velocity collision), the more I grew to dislike them in a city environment.
Then I always hear what a pain in the ass it can be to own one and that more or less solidified my car-free life.
As for bikes specifically, I usually rent out a bike when the weather is nice. I've been doing a lot of walking/running this year so I haven't ridden as much as I have in recent years but I'll probably get back to it later this summer.
