Our car made me feel in over my head.

I don’t think I could have changed a flat tire on our Honda.  I would have called AAA.  I didn’t know how nasty AAA was back then, now if I had a car I’d belong to Better World car club, but I used to be an AAA member.  I don’t miss the feeling of helplessness that car problems always brought on.  Knowing I couldn’t fix anything myself, having to go a garage, not being able to drive a disabled car to a garage and having to call for a tow.

Now when I get a flat bike tire I pop my bike on a Muni bus bike rack and get where I’m going so I don’t have to change a flat by the side of the road.  Fixing a flat tire on a bike is pretty easy.

Helpless no more.
