I ENJOYED reading your feature Living Without a Car.

I don't have a car and I can manage all right. I ride a tricycle with a basket which I put my shopping in and when I don't use it for shopping I put my little Jack Russell in there and take her for a ride which she loves.

I tried to learn to drive a few years ago when my mother was alive so I could take her out but nerves got the better of me and I could not pass my test. Since mum passed away, I have not taken any more driving tests and I ride my tricycle instead which I enjoy.

I have turned down lifts because I would rather cycle then go by car.

I fractured both hips a few years ago and I had no choice but to go by car but as soon as I was fit I was cycling again.

I can manage very well without a car.
