Living Car-free

Would you trade your car for a bike? Would you live a year of your life with out driving a car just to prove it could be done? Some people are. Plus they get to spend more time outdoors and stop wasting money and polluting the environment driving their inefficient cars. It's a simple concept but could be a revolutionary one, just go ride a bike.

    • I have just started biking instead of driving, and even during this heat wave that we are having in Sonoma County, I like it better than driving.

      I think that every one who can should ride a bike instead of drive.

    • hey you might be interested in this...

      The U.S. Public Interest Research Group (PIRG) is committed to improving public transportation by helping to make it work faster and cleaner for all of us.

      We are calling on citizens to create videos of their visions for 21st century transit and we would appreciate your support in our endeavor by making your own video!

      The videos will be used as evidence of the public's support for public transportation and will let decision-makers in Washington, D.C. know that they need to make this issue a priority. Entrants have a shot at winning $500.

      If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me Annie Chau at Annie.Chau@pirg.org or (202) 546-9470. Check out: http://www.uspirg.org/transit-video-contest

      Thank you for joining us in our cause.

    • I'm 35 and live just outside of Denver and have never owned an auto. I bike everywhere, all the time, in any weather, 24/7-365. Commuter, Downhill, BMX.. Granted any of my bikes cost as much as some peoples car... It's a choice very few I have met are willing to make. Soon everyone may be forced to make that choice. Rising gas prices, lowering dollar value, weak economy.... I don't think most americans could transition to being so physically involved with their mode of transport. I definitely think it would put into perspective what a mile is really worth.

    • Their is a man they call Mr.Greaves, who mysteriously lost his job shortly after getting married, he lay upon his wife's couch for five years, until one day he got an uncontrollable urge to ride his bicycle from San Francisco to Santa Monica.

      It took Greaves two weeks to complete the journey, it was hard for the man, as his legs had severely atrophied from many years as a layabout, but he pushed on and on and endured many hardships.
      Their were balloons and a small parade upon his arrival in Santa Monica. Greaves has been nominated for several awards and special medallions. He now feels quite vigorous.

    • bikes are great, i agree. i ride mine on nice sunny weekends in Portland. ( insert joke here)
      the automobile is one of the greatest inventions of the 20th century. ask your grandparents how important the invention was.
      now we need to improve on the dated designs of our past. the technology is there and needs to be implemented.
      we just need BETTER cars. period.
      this is a nice idea but not a solution to the problem.
