« One Car Family | Main | Living Car-Lite in Crystal City »
I'm training for a marathon, so several days per week I use part of my commute as a cross-training exercise. On those days, instead of driving to the MARC train station, I bicycle to the Germantown station to commute down to Union Station and then take the Metro to work. Also, each day I walk almost a mile to my office from the Metro stop.

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! (*****)

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. (*****)
