You're right, reducing car use is so much healthier in so many ways. I don't have a car myself and bike, walk or take public transit most of the time (with a little help from my son and his car now and then). Just one thing, please wear a helmet when you ride your bike. Hello, Alison, I saw your comment in Dot Earth (11/22/08)and followed the link to your blog.

I'd add: Pick a parking spot far enough from your destination to get a short walk in (assuming safety and good weather). Interesting that (anecdotally) it seems that weight is gained when teenagers get into the car-driving/riding range. And then there is the college weight-gain stereotype. Getting out of the car as much as possible is certainly good advice! You’re so right! I’d add:

I walk or take the bus or train everywhere (shamefully I can't ride a bike!). Interesting blog you've got here.
