I'm curious. I know where my life diverged and where I would've been a car guy otherwise, would be interested to see what the dealio with other people is or whether they even ever thought about it

I take the bus. I'll bike again when it's not winter - I don't want the wheels to slip over and get my chest gouged again like what happened last year.

highly highly recommend studded tires if you ever feel like giving winter biking a go again. you can ride on sheer ice with solid traction, its crazy. I've never fallen with them, though deep snow could probably mess you up if you're not careful

But taking the bus is also pretty dank. beats a car any day
