Great article! We aren't totally car-free YET but just sold my DH's truck so have only one vehicle now, plus a fleet of bikes. We ride, walk, or take the bus whenever possible. We're fortunate to have moved to a neighborhood with a grocery, bank, restaurants, etc. within easy walking distance, and the post office is a few mile bike ride away. We can also ride to the farmer's market and food co-op, and do most of our shopping (other than food) online. I do still drive to work 4 days a week (telecommute the fifth day), but we live 19 miles closer to my workplace than we did before our move, so every bit helps.
