I've never owned a car, I rode my push bike everywhere for over a decade and recently upgraded to a motorbike, which I actually feel is much safer ... you can keep up with the traffic, have proper lights (brake, indicator) and I wear good gear ... leather jacket, gloves, Kevlar reinforced pants. I feel like a Knight, protected by my not-so-shiny armour.
Of course, the push-bike was more exercise ...
