[Lemmy]

I cycle a lot. I had a heart attack in 2014 and that served as a warning. I've arthritis in my big toe so running was out, so cycling it was.

I love it. Its enjoyable, mentally refreshing, and good for me. I started incorporating it into my life using the bike for work, errands and shopping, and have massively reduced car use. I'm never late home because traffic jams don't affect me, and the savings in fuel and maintenance are well worth having. I retire in 4 years, and although I live in the countryside I intend to be completely carless. I shall just do it, instead of making excuses like the great unwashed car driving public do.

Electric cars won't save the planet - walking and cycling might though.

Well done on your achievement.
