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 does 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 other hand, al least here, there's a uprising of electric scooters and personal mobility vehicules at the moment, I think mostly because of problems with parking spaces and economic struggle withing some comunities, that priorize an economic scooter over a second hand car that can have bigger manteinance costs.
