Drive less and walk more. Short journeys in cars are the most polluting and mechanically damaging so should be avoided. The sad thing is so many places are set up so it isn't possible to walk. I was staying in a motel in California one time and I wanted to visit a store over the road but thet nearest crossing was half a mile away so I had to walk two miles total in order to visit a store I could see from the motel. No wonder most people just drive.

I cycle but mixing it with cars in something like a velo wouldn't be my cup of tea. I do have a BEV which is our only car but for short journeys we just walk. Our local supermarket is only a 10 min walk away so that's convenient. Fortunately here we're well set for walking with footpaths well away from roads.
