Fantastic. I also believe we are slaves to the cars, in such a way that we have become blind to the fact how they destroy our societies and people.
Most people are so used to the cars that they find it hard we would be happier without them, like my dad who grown up in the 50's with the mindset that every man should have a car. Not to mention all the developing countries with a middle class who see it as a step towards happiness (can't blame them though).
The car ia a great invention, and I love to drive them.
Our family does not own a car, but rather a few bikes including a cargo bike which we use to do the shopping including Ikea visits.
It makes me cry a bit of happiness every time I read about this kind of initiatives.
