« Carpool and Walk to School | Main | One Car Family »
After moving to the Courthouse area of Arlington I sold my car. After having a car for over 50 years it was very strange. But I found myself learning how to "Metro" and relearned how to walk. Amazing how much better you feel. Whenever a car is required I simply rent with Zipcar. Rent by the hour, gas and insurance included and all the cars are new. All types from sub compacts to pick-ups. Yes you can live without a car.

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. (***)

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. (*****)
