Even though I no longer have my car, alternatives abound in the area when the need does arise to drive. Between renting at Reagan National Airport & Zipcars I am completely covered. Not only have I saved money, I've also significantly reduced my carbon footprint! Rob Padowski, Arlington, VA I moved to Crystal City from Myrtle Beach, SC in late May of 2007. I paid to insure, garage, and maintain my car for 13 months before finally ridding myself of the hassle, as I drove a total of 600 miles in the 13 months! I've now been without for 10 months at the end of the month and LOVE IT!!!!

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. (*****)
