Our local bicycle advocacy group is having the Low Car Diet Challenge next month. I signed up for it. I figured, I'm doing it anyway, why not get the goodie basket for it?

The rules are, active modes of transporation only. No cars, taxis, airplanes. Buses are ok. However, public transit in a small town is pitiful! No matter, I haven't gotten in a car in I don't know how long anyway. I commute, run errands, get groceries by bike. I usually jump at the chance to run errands by bike because it is an excuse to be on my bike. Generally I get in the car when my family is going somewhere and they want me to come. Sometimes I let them drive and I bike.

For the month of September I will not get in a car. I get to write about my experiences and I get freebies at the end of it.
