People of lemmy, would you live in a rural area? Why or why not?

There are a lot of aspects of it that really appeal to me, but I'd miss the shit out of using a bicycle as my primary means of transportation and having everything relatively close.

To be fair, this largely depends on the country you're in. Appreciate that the bike is going to be pretty useless in somewhere as car-centric as the US, but I've lived in rural areas in the EU where the bike was quite enough.

I live in the US and my bike is my primary means of transportation. I also live in a small city though, not a completely rural area.

[-] infinipurple@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Yes, sorry, that was the point I was making (albeit poorly). Rural US is an impossibility unless you have a car.

Unless you're a 15 year old me who just has a shit ton of stamina water bottles and a even more shit ton of determination to get to a city so I can throw myself around a roundabout
