    Sounds like, I’m in a fairly ideal suburb for everything I need but the distances can be far for things I want

    do you just drive when it makes the most sense to drive?

    My biggest mental shift was instead of “driving if it makes sense to drive” to “driving if it doesn’t make sense to walk/bike/transit.”

    Basically I look at all other methods of transit/destinations first; then drive only if required.

    Biggest example: I usually take the bike and trailer to drop my kid off at daycare on the way to work. Weather hasn’t stopped me yet; but if the school busses are canceled, I will drive because there’s a marked increase in more drivers paying less attention on the roads I must take. If I had separated bike facilities I could still bike.
