1/3 the carbon footprint of a car? When I do the math on kilowatt hours, one full charge gets me three commuting trips, which would normally cost me a gallon and a half of gas. And the charge for my bike works out to cost me about six cents. I don’t know how you’re figuring your carbon footprint, but it should be a whole lot less than what you’re describing. Have fun out there!

That sounds like one of the best audits people can do. When you start looking around the city and see how much space is given to dead metal. We did something similar. If you don't need a car to commute to work then you don't need a car. Haven't had one for 10 years. When we need one, we normally treat our self's to something that we would need own. Keep on riding!

I went through a similar audit earlier this year. While I did use the car a bit, it was all short trips of less than 10 km, and when the car became unrepairable, that was the time to put into action a plan I had been considering for the previous few years - go car free! The result: No car, I have an E-bike that has seen over 1500km in 2.5 months, already saved hundreds on car expenses and contributed to a cleaner and more sustainable future. See my post elsewhere.

Ah, I can highly recommend Co-Cars, which is the car club we use, they also hire out e-bikes as part of their fleet. We have cycled to my husbands parents on Dartmoor - it was definitely a challenge and combined train & cycling to my parents. I think it's just the 'norm' when it comes to owning a car for many - we had a lot of very surprised friends and family who I think thought they would never see us again!

I am a keen trailer user. My father has a 1/3 of an acre garden. I love collecting large bags of compost, fertilizer etc and travelling to waste disposal site to drop off unwanted items.
