Mode of Transportation

On the weekends*, we aim to drive our cars as little as possible–ideally, not at all.

Luckily, we live so close to town that sometimes we can actually accomplish this goal. And this past weekend, we did.

We just pop kiddo in the trailer–found on FreeCycle for FREE–and go.

I love that we are doing at least a little part in the whole reducingourcarbonfootprint-thing, but really I enjoy the convenience (quicker usually than driving), the exercise (could use more, of course) and the camaraderie (seems people are more friendly/considerate to bicyclists).

*During the week, it’s just not feasible for us to not drive as my commute is now about 35 minutes and Tom–as a wine salesman–has to be all over the place.
