Cars are a particularly stupid way of getting about crowded inner cities. I've recently taken to cycling to work and am amazed to find how quickly you can get around when you aren't lugging a massive metal cage around with you. Not to mention the other obvious benefits: cost, health, the environment. The only downside (on a sunny day) is the danger caused by traffic and by backward thinking governments who haven't tried to find alternatives to squeezing more and more traffic onto the road.
Being an unapologetic technophile I ride an electric bike. Still a bit experimental but fun to ride.
