Hero Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 I've been officiall vehicle-free for a good month and I plan to stay this way for as long as possible. I am going to continue to cycle, walk, and carpool everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrispyQ Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 Dude, you rock!!! I was vehicle free for many years & loved it. We had a decent bus system & I had legs & it was great! Have you heard that GM, with all their revenue problems, is going to concentrate on SUV's & big trucks the next few quarters. Arghhh!!!! Who the f*%$ is running this company??? Kudos to you, Topher!

Hero Posted December 22, 2005 Author Share Posted December 22, 2005 suvs and big trucks...makes no sense. we should be focusing on making environmentally friendly vehicles...and also focusing on only using a vehicle when necessary. ppl have legs so they should get to using em. hehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offense74 Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 I agree! I sold my car 2 years ago and have used my bike since. I really just need a car a few times a year. When I buy big stuff like furniture, I can rent and when I'm refereeing somwhere else in Sweden I carpool with the rest of the officiating crew.

Kathryn Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 I was vehicle-free for many years as a college student and grad student, relying on mass transit, walking and biking. Now, I live in a small town with no mass transit, and where it is awefully cold in the winter! I do, however, have a Toyota Prius, which is the most environmentally sound car I could find (that is practical for me). Doesn't get the advertisted "city"mileage in a small town , but still pollutes less than any other car I looked at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 congrats! i love being car-free, and it's quite easy in DC. i do just about everything on bicycle, bus or subway. for the rare necessity, there's also car-sharing (in addition to renting). here are two u.s. car-sharing companies. very cool. but, they don't cover most of the country.http://www.zipcar.com/http://flexcar.com/ i should add... my new partner has a car, so now i sometimes hitch a ride from her. if people do drive, please keep your tires properly inflated and don't speed (gas mileage decreases after 55 or 60 mph).Tips To Improve Your Gas Mileage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
