"The only thing I regret is the trips to the sea or across the country - I still travel around the country a fair bit, on trains. Everything else is done on the bike or occasionally the bus. And I'm becoming more and more aware of how harmful the car culture is."

Like you, Thompson, I had to give up my car (in my case because of health issues) and the harm that car culture does, and is doing, became more and more apparent to me too. I don't have any children of my own but I live opposite a primary school and when I hear those happy little voices in the playground, I can't help worrying about what state the world will be in when those kids grow up.
