“No Car, No Problem”

Willamette Week | “No Car, No Problem” | August 6th, 2008.

Article from local (to me) paper, the Willamette Week, with an example of how families can live without an automobile given the use of single-day or hourly car rental services for far trips.

My only point of contention is that I have been a car-free cyclist for two years and wouldn’t mind having the use of an auto or a year-long trimet pass for those few obstacles that arise - though, since I wasn’t already a motorist I wasn’t eligible for the Low-Car Diet featured in the article. I won’t complain though. I have been happy about not having set foot in a car in over a year and having to find alternate means for far travel and heavy moving (so far I haven’t really found solutions, just the occasional helping hand or excessive bike trip… no real trips though. Not until I build my touring bike!)
