If we updated the train network, subsidised electric bikes (along with more sensible regulation about speeds and wattages, 250 isn’t enough to get peek hills without sweating - which sounds vain but is important for people replacing a car) and provided safe places to park them all around (lockers etc) I earnestly believe a lot of people would find they amount of times they earnestly need to drive its slashed considerably!
A solid bike or scooter is effectively a low impact range extender for the rest of our infrastructure - which means more people can access it more easily too!
I can only speak for myself but doing the same thing, I’m only really driving twice a week now to handle a ~80km round work commute. It’s great - and I’m going out a lot more because I’m not worried about fuel or parking.
