Going car free and using a bicycle instead is a big step to take.

It can actually be scary for a lot of people who are used to using motor vehicles to travel

Could you do it? What would you consider going car feee and just use a bicycle?
 
Sadly, I wouldn't consider going car free at the moment as long as I'm still living in the big city. It's practically impossible for me to get by using only bikes because some places I need to go covers so much ground only using a car can work.

But if I eventually move back to reside in the rural area, I'll definitely consider going car feee and just use a bicycle only.
 
See, if I was in the city, I'd go car free because usually American cities have a better cycling infrastructure to be able to go car-free.

Unfortunately, it's not the same for us down here because even our road infrastructures for cars isn't that well managed and not to talk about cycling.

This is what a busy day looks like in one road leading into Lekki Lagos where I'm currently living.
