I have a car, but I don't want to. My work or any interesting shopping is about 6 miles away, mostly uphill on a highway in a very desert-like area so I couldn't comfortably bike, and the public transportation is practically nonexistent (and was recently cut to not run on the weekend at all).

I do take my bike most weekends when I can, though. It's been a great experience.
