Six weeks in
After six weeks in Toulouse, I’d like to share my experience of riding the bike in this city. I sold my car, when I was living in Bremen. Due to the good public transport and the acceptable bike infrastructure, I was never using it. When I moved to Hamburg, there was also no need for a car. With the public transport, acceptable bike infrastructre and car sharing systems like car2go and drive now, it was easy to come around without any hassle.
When I moved to Toulouse, I was always asked what kind of car I drove. Answering ‘none’, nearly everybody asked me how I can manage to live without a car. I was never asked that in Bremen or Hamburg. After a short period, I’ve noticed why.
