      I don't think cows are intelligent or suggestible enough to be usefully ridden. A shame really, as horses can be arrogant fuckers!

      Sure why not. People ride horses I can't see why it really is any different? Cows do fart all the time though because of their diet.

              Ha right. I mean lets be honest farting feels great. I don't believe anyone that says they don't feel relief after farting. LOL Sorry if that was tmi.

    Due to some medical conditions I wasnt even allowed to get a driver license in the first place. So I don't have one and I dont miss it or need it. I just walk everywhere. To work. To go shopping, to what ever.

          Yes, there are. Like when you have a lot to do walking is a slow way to get things done, you can get very hot walking.

    I'd get other people to drive me. If they're not available, I'd just walk. I/m on my feet for over 12 hours and can walk VERY far distances without getting tired. People wonder how I do it. XD

    I wouldn't care.
    I even use public transport sometimes to cut down the uses of gas. But sometimes if I feel like it, I'll walk.

      Yeah, our public transport in Auckland, New Zealand is very fancy as well with Aircon, electric ramps on the trains to help people in wheelchairs and people with push chairs get on and off easy, screens displaying information, WIFI and our double decker buses even have ports at each seat so you can charge phones and tables. We also have a card called the AT (Auckland Transport) Hop card which can be used across the trains, buses and ferry network.The public transport also looks flash. :)

    Similar to 1, but without endangering anyone.

    I would ride my bicycle with missing seat and make sure to tear a hole in the back of my biker shorts.

    I would drive late at night when there was no traffic.

    Public transport for regular trips (work), taxis for sporadic ones (shopping, etc). Uber is fucking expensive and getting lifts with people all the time is lame. I guess the decision to drive anyway would be based on whether I think the doctor(s) is being overly cautious or not.

    Taxis here are actually cheaper and faster than public transport but I'd rather stick with the latter where possible.

      We do have a good public transport system here though.

      Getting lifts with people where I live is not considered lame. Like if a person you work with was going in the same direction as you want to go they will often say you can come in my car.

          Oh yeah, I get what you're saying. It is good to be independent for sure as you can do what you want when you want. If you have to rely on other people you keeping interrupting their schedule.
