I am one of these dubious but lucky guys who simply do not like to drive cars. I have a license, but I never needed it, since I never owned a car. Never needed one,l never wanted one, never had one. saves plenty of money!
What matters to me and what matches my living conditions best, is a good, reliable bicycle. Must not be anything specialm but reliable it must be - I travel up to 90 km away from home via bike. not good to get hit by a malfucntion or a flat tire - while being that far "out there". For long range travelling, I also never used airliners. I did my voyages all by train or ferries, and on location via donkeys and mules, busses, rarely a jeep, or on foot. That are the only ways to travel if you really want to experience the travel itself. airliners are just timemachines, you could as well use a beaming transporter from Star Trek. Once we were arrested in a kurdish village and carried out by Turkish troops on a truck - then I almost got killed by an idiot trying to impress the female assistant aid of my boss back then, by making tricks and behaving like an a##e in love - and loosing a shot from his rifle that almost cut my spine - 2cm were missing. worst example of a totally mislocated (non-commissioned) military officer I ever have met. Needless to say, since then I not only hate travelling by airliners or cars, but travelling by trucks, too - especially with a flirting Turkish NCO onboard. ![]() Cars - pfffft! ![]() I like the literature by Ray Bradbury. Bradbury hates cars, too, he said, he never drove himself, i think, and also he hates flying in big planes. with company like this, i could live well!
