I don't get why city authorities don't get that. What modern society expects is that all residential buildings in the cities are razed to make space for roads and car parks, so that the people who were forced to live in suburbs can now conveniently drive their cars to the office.

We needed to pick up 30 potted flowers from a garden centre about 5km away.
My wife and I split the task. I attached a trailer to one of my bikes and she took a hand pulled wagon on the local metro line.
No problems. Who needs a car? 😉

It just took me a half hour
to drive home from a mechanic
that is just over a mile away from our house
Helling ass I cannot wait until we can move into a better #CarFree area
This is stupid. Cars are stupid. The fact we built our entire society around cars is stupid and I hate it and I hate the people who manufactured it for their stupid profit

I pumped up the tyres on the bike and jumped on it today… mission: a small grocery shop to pick up some milk and other essentials.
Walked up one of the small hills (I'm quite out of shape!), rode the rest of the way… get there, go park under the Aldi. Crap, where's the chain, in the top box? No. In the pannier bag? No. Bugger.
Jump back on the bike and rode home. Said chain is beside my bed, exactly where I left it last. I'm now catching my breath before I grab a rain cape and go catch the bus up there.

This week I'm car free… my father's over touring south-NZ while I hold the fort here.
One thing I'm learning… while I have my inbound trip more-or-less down pat, the outbound trip needs work. Today I left home about 06:30… wandered up to the stop in Kaloma Road and caught the 382… that dropped me off near Lang Park, and I walked from there to Park Road, Milton where my work is.
Easy.
This evening, I tried to do the reverse… got to the stop: it was going to be 20~30 minutes until the 382 coming home. I hate standing around waiting for public transport. So plenty of time to walk up to the next stop surely…? I'll bet it stops a bit further up the road.
Narrator: it doesn't stop anywhere else on Given Terrace. The point just near Caxton street is the only place.
Suffice to say, ended up walking to the base of the hill at Bardon… waited for the 61 and got that to Ashgrove. Then I wandered to the rendezvous point for the 380. By this time it was nearly 18:00.
There was *supposed* to be a 380 at 18:03… that time came and went with no sign of it. It was 18:19 before I was on that 380.
Bloody exhausted… but a little wiser I think.

When is #EarthDay? #NYC goes #CarFree to celebrate

Day 2 of my trip, I started the morning in downtown San Francisco, and by afternoon I found myself in the majestic Yosemite Valley, and I got there without a car!
I used Amtrak bus to Emeryville, Amtrak train to Merced, & YARTS bus into Yosemite NP.
What a beautiful place! I look forward to exploring it further
