What do you mean by that
statement? Are you implying that people who do not have cars and
who get around by bicycles have no lives? I have had a very happy and
fulfilling life because I dont have a car and I can survive with
a bicycle. Thing are far cheaper so I can spend my money on more
important things like computers, ham radio, and entertainment such
as opera and ballet.

I spend less time sittling and doing nothing since I dont have to
wait in traffic. My cardiovascular and muscle health is very good.
I feel good. 

And you tell me I have no life. Very interesting.

P.S. Happeness is riding a bicycle loaded down with ham radio gear 6 
miles in the rain to the opera, parking the bike *free* in the lobby
of the opera house (not paying 10 to 15 dollars for the garage), and
getting to the show on time rather than being late due to some traffic.
