Living a Less-Car Life

I accept the automobile as a mode of transportation although it should be used sparingly. My goal is to use a "Less-Car lifestyle."

With kids, a job and a no-so-liveable community it can be difficult to follow a One-Less-Car lifestyle. But my goal is to live my life with as little use of my car as possible - a Less-Car Lifestyle.

I am keeping track of how much I ride my bike to not only curb my own unsustainable lifestyle, but to show others that they can have a much more fulfilling life by choosing alternatives.
