« Why Stop There? | Main | Car Free and Loving It »
I used to be overweight. Then I stopped using my car and got on my bike. I've lost weight and my carbon footprint has trimmed down through a combo of biking, public transit and telework. Thanks to all three, I'm slimmer and there's one less car on the road!

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. (*****)
That's great! It's nice to hear success stories like yours. It's actually very inspiring. :D
