We have one car, but try to be #carlite and minimize its use.
For grocery shopping, half the time we walk to the store near us. A couple times a month though we need other items and drive to a store 5 km away, which is near two others. While my wife shops at the first, I'll #longboard to the others for some extra items. Fast, fun and saves a little driving.
#TraderJoe can be crowded, but #skating past a line of cars hunting for parking, then rolling right up to the front door is always glorious.

If you want to know how many households are #CarFree or #CarLite in your city check this out from the Census Bureau.

An excellent piece from Angie Schmitt on how more people are choosing to go #CarFree in places where you wouldn't think. I am #CarLite. We went down to one car last year and so we have been walking/biking more. Now if only we can do something about this damn sprawl of these smaller cities. #BikeTooter

Today was my first time out on my bike in almost 2 weeks 😱
First stop: the post office in #Saanichton village — how cute is this little post office?
Next stop: over to the #BrentwoodBay Village to reactivate my library card. It’s nice to live close to a library again!

This video was shared on the @notjustbikes subreddit.
It's their first video, but the quality is already very good.
Very promising channel and can't wait for future videos.

Reposting a link to this recent blog post on going #carlite in #Detroit. I had posted this previously but my instance crashed, so the original was lost. #BikeCommuting #Bike #Vélo #Fiets #Fietser #Fahrrad #Bicicletta https://www.timhinkle.io/motorless-in-the-motor-city-part-2/

Hey folks! 👋​
I'm here to #ActOnClimate, especially on decarbonizing #Transportation and buildings.
Follow me for anecdotes about living as a #CarLite family in the suburbs with our two #eBikes.
I like to talk about...

Further #Introduction: When I’m not at work I enjoy #Sailing, #Biking, #Skiing, and #Walking. I do my best to live a #CarLite lifestyle. I am interested in #Urbanism, and what makes good cities really liveable places.
I have a recreational interest in #Math. You will see me post things about #PrimeNumbers, #Ï€, and other things that make me think a little deeper about #Numbers.
I have two #Cats, who have already graced my timeline.
I like absurd jokes and wordplay. /2

Here is another introduction post. Consider it my calling card. The profile image is an illustration of me done by my good friend Jeffrey Witty (@JeffWittyArt). Visit the #dirtybird and encourage him to come over.
