I should have made that sentance more clear - you can live in Pittsburgh with out a car - and Zipcar makes that even easier. BikePGH is doing an awesome job promoting cycling as a mode of transportation. And Pittsburgh has some great tools that make taking the bus super easy - we are one of the cities that offers Google Transit <a href="http://(http://www.google.com/maps?ie=UTF8&dirflg=r&ll=40.420948,-79.933777&spn=0.188257,0.252053)" rel="nofollow">(http://www.google.com/maps?ie=UTF8&dirflg=r&ll=40.420948,-79.933777&spn=0.188257,0.252053)</a> - put in where you are and where you want to go - Google transit tells you which bus stop to walk to and which bus to take (also works on the Google Maps app for blackberry).

Pittsburgh has one of the best public transit systems in the nation and is a great place for both practical and recreational biking (check out bike-pgh.org). More so than many other cities, Pittsburghers can and even should get by without a car. That being said, I do think that the Zip car is an awesome program.
