World Car Free Day 2009

i love car free day. there do seem to be a few more cyclists on the the road and a few less cars. i just like a world with more bikes and less cars. tho i will say, the number of cyclists in DC has increased exponentially since i started commuting on my bike 2 years ago.

so here is the deal: every September 22, people around the world get together, without the use of a car, and remind the world that we don't have to live in a car-dominated society.

ideally, all the teabelly readers will be car free next tuesday. and then they will realize that there is a magical freedom about not being chained to a car. and a few of you will then decide to be car free once a month, or once a week, or something. i know you can't totally ditch a car. i go to costco too. but for lots of things, a car is not needed.

anyway, if you wanna go to an event you can, browse this wiki and find your town . . .

for those of you in dc . . . here is our little WABA effort:
