Bicycle Riding at age 60

Hi,

I am 60 years old and ride my bicycle every day. I have owned and driven cars for many years and i no longer own a vehicle. I walk or ride my bike everywhere or if i have to - use public transportation or a taxi. Awhile back i needed a car to drive; so i rented one from Hertz for over a month. That worked out great and Hertz Car Rental was good to do business with. I am happy to be "car free". Nowadays there are too many negatives associated with vehicle ownership - you see many vehicles on the road and i don't see how many of the owners can afford to maintain the cost of driving a car or truck. Possibly owning a vehicle has value if it transports you to a good paying job or earns it's living by hauling a payload or paying passengers.
