No matter what your circumstances, there are always going to be blow-hard ideologues who think you're not doing enough.
Last year, I decided to get a car. I was working part-time, living at my mom's house in the suburbs about 15 miles from my job, and working the 4-8 shift. And yet I got some flak from people who thought that it was completely reasonable to bike for two hours in the dark through a sketchy neighborhood in a city where cyclists are target practice.
The main obstacles for most people are structural, not a matter of laziness, and I think more people should recognize that.
