« Live Near Your Work and Walk | Main | Walk and Shuttle to Work »
Upon moving back from LA to DC in 2002, I didn't have a car. And I didn't get one. I decided I didn't want one. For the last 6 years, I have only lived no further than 2 miles from work. When I transferred jobs, I used Metro and bus from NW to Bailey's Crossroads for 9 months, then I moved 1 mile from my new location. I have a Zipcar membership if I want to buy something big.

Chris Balish: How to Live Well Without Owning a Car: Save Money, Breathe Easier, and Get More Mileage Out of Life
We love this book! Chris Balish provides readers with practical, every-day tips on how to go car-lite or even car-free. We wish we'd written this book ourselves, but it somehow rings much more true coming from this self-described "mainstream" guy. NOW AVAILABLE in a Special Arlington, VA Edition! (*****)
Mark Ovenden: Transit Maps of the World
If you like maps and you're a transit fan then you'll love this new collection of transit system maps from around the world. Includes rare and historic maps, diagrams and photographs. Beautiful and fun. (***)
Jeff Mapes: Pedaling Revolution: How Cyclists Are Changing American Cities
Chock full of useful information about how agencies and citizens across the world are re-engineering their infrastructure and re-educating the public to make their cities more bike friendly for commutes and all trips. Mr. Mapes shows when this happens it is good for economic development, the environment and quality of life. A must read for anyone who wants their own region to become more bike friendly and thus prosper in this new age. (*****)
