He and I went for our first road ride today. I introduced him to the imaginary line that runs four feet from the curb. I explained how we're going around the block making only right turns. I explained how we're going to look to the left at each corner, and around the block we went. This is a good day.
Good luck with the Car Reduction Plan. These days, driving really is something you can simply get fed up with; a burden rather than the liberator it once was.
ReplyDeleteAbout 18 months ago I implemented my own, maybe more abitious, Car Elimination Plan and got rid of the car entirely. I have not looked back and have not once missed having a car.
But then, I'm in England so it is probably both easier (good rail network) and more lucrative (fuel costs over $7 a US gallon) to do this.
