No I’m not farming karma, there’s no counter on Lemmy. This is the only way to run a poll.
We have two. One is exclusively for towing a camper. We keep the miles down on it (~5k miles after two years). The other handles everything else.
Before COVID, my partner worked from home and I biked/bussed. It was about an hour each way. Driving was only 20 minutes and parking was free, but I tried to bike as often as I could. Also sometimes traffic made driving a terrible 40-60 min slog.
Biking was mostly fine except for the pedestrians who would wander into an intersection with no walk signal glued to their phones completely incapable of hearing my bell through their headphones. I actually purchased one of those car horns right before COVID had me WFH and I’ve been doing that ever since.
So now we just drive for errands, restaurants, and weekly groceries. I’m working on moving groceries to a bike trailer, but my partner isn’t as much of a cyclist, so it’s been tough to get her to bike to restaurants.
