Just wondering if any of you only have a bike as your mode of transport?

The bike is just a toy for fun.
There was a time when I was a bike only kind of chap, but it took the fun out of motorcycling for me such that it didn't get used on weekends. Now I let the car take the strain and damage for commuting and biking is just 100% pleasure.

All 3 depends on what’s needed and where, etc.
Would use that bike all the time but it’s just not practical a lot of the time unfortunately

Well, currently more of just a van type person, with a decent pushbike hanging up in the hall and a couple of motorbikes languishing in the shed.

I have an electric scooter for carrying stuff around the village. I live in the North corner and it seems everything I need or need to go to is in the south so I got lazy.
From having a licence to drive anything I now couldn't give a monkey's if I never drove a car again.

I have a wife and she's always buying things.

Things need to be transported.

Bikes are shit at transporting large or bulky objects.

If I didn't have a wife,I doubt I would bother with a car,but as it is,I do,so I do.
