Car-Free for Exercise and the Environment
I have lived car-free in Arlington for three years and believe it creates the best exercise I could engage in while I reduce my carbon footprint significantly.
One of the best tools I use is the weeknight 7:02 4A Metrobus to Culmore. This runs right in front of my apartment and drops me two blocks from my destination, the UU Church of Arlington, where I have many meetings that all begin at 7:30 pm.
For Earth Day 2008, our Environmental Committee at church will ask every member to take alternative transportation at least once during the month of April. We have created an account with "iCarPool" service and hope to enroll at least 400 people in the next year.

I have been living in the same Arlington area and I have been having problems with my bike being stolen from the bike racks(locked) at the metro stations. I have had 3 bikes stolen in as many months. I need some advice on how to keep my bike safe its starting to get expensive.
