Even if you considered it safe to bike (which it isn’t, the dedicated bike lanes are pretty limited), it’s impossible to avoid the weather.
The MKT gets you all the way from 610 to downtown with virtually no interaction with cars until you’re actually in the city proper.
I’ll spot you weather, but I’ve biked in the rain before. A poncho is all you really need shy of severe weather. And if I’m taking an Uber to and from work once or twice a month, that’s far cheaper than owning a car.
I’ve known only a handful of people who’ve tried doing carless in Houston and only one of them long term
I think “carless” is much more difficult. But “one car house” is very possible. You don’t need a vehicle for every member of the family.
