Growing up, I lived in a rural area. I was decently car-brained because of it too, but rode bike just about every day until I got my license. 2 years ago I moved to a walkable neighborhood in my city, and started to embrace the idea of walking instead of driving when I didn't need to. Recently I gave in to my curiosity and downloaded an app for rental bikes/scooters. I forgot how much fun riding bike actually is! My city is also expanding it's bike lanes all over the place. If it isn't for work, I'm not driving!

I love the rental bike scheme in my city, Leeds. It’s slowly rolling out and covering more and more areas. The convenience of zero maintenance and being able to just drop the bike off without worrying about security beats owning a bike for me.

That said they have some reliability issues to work though but I’m sure they’ll get there.
