    I haven’t owned a personal auto for 12 years, my commute is dictated by how fast I walk. And I’m tired of things being designed to cater to the dumbest among us. Look both ways before you cross the road. Know where you’re going and how you’ll get there before you begin your trip.

      @MintyFresh @LibertyLizard I’m at 6 years without a car now. Since I left the USA, I haven’t needed a car except when I rented a small truck to move to a different apartment. Japan has good public transportation. There is a train station 800m away. Mixed use neighborhoods too. I have 3 grocery stores and 4 convenience stores within 300m. They all have bicycle parking areas, so do most apartment buildings. This can be done anywhere, but car manufacturers lobby to prevent it. #FuckCars
