I live in a flat city (Portsmouth) and my local off-road running area is 7 miles away. My wife has a car and I decided to give up cars completely in January 2020. For over a month I used our local bus and my bus pass to get me to my running area. The bus stop is 50 yds from my front door. It was all going so well then Covid-19 came along!!!
My son and his wife bought a new car and I inherited their old one, so I was back to driving again. The MOT is due soon so I'm getting to the point where I can sell it or just dump it, buy another car or go back to my original poisition and use our local bus again? In reality I don't think I'm going to do that until Covid-19 susides to an acceptable level.
But I also have other possibilities, I've thought about buying an electric bike or even a small motorbike or moped? I only need to whizz around the city, or just to get to my runs and what I think is really my answer has actually arrived! A Citroen Ami, a two seater electric car which really appeals to me! But its only on sale in France at the moment and may not appear in the UK for some time?
Its only about £5000 or it can be leased (in France anyway) and in France can be driven by a 14 year old, I'm not sure about in the UK? Unless there is something that I haven't thought about, as it stands today, I want one!
