Just wondering how people here get around day-to-day.

I personally try to use a bike as much as possible, but end up driving because of the structure of US suburbia and being the friend with a car™.

Southern Europe: Mostly by car, sadly. Bike commuting is something that is hard in small cities that do not focus on pedestrian/bike infrastructure. I try to walk as much as I can. But my city is designed for cars, not people.

On the other hand, at least here, there's an uprising of electric scooters and personal mobility vehicles at the moment. I think it's mostly because of problems with parking spaces and economic struggles within some communities that prioritize an economical scooter over a second-hand car, which can have higher maintenance costs.
