"I have yet to meet someone who earnestly enjoys being stuck in gridlock traffic for hours a week. Yet people unhappy with traffic still resort to cars to get around when it is perceived as the least difficult option." - Peter Wood in their transit diary for #WeekWithoutDriving: https://ggwash.org/view/101281/transit-diary-an-adams-morgan-anc-commissioner-spends-a-week-commuting-abroad

"Almost everywhere I needed to go this week COULD be reached by public transit, but many of the trips required more logistics, more time, and more physical energy than if I were driving." - Bianca Palmisano in their transit diary for #WeekWithoutDriving: https://ggwash.org/view/101298/transit-diary-a-dc-resident-does-the-suburbs

A belated final day of our #WeekWithoutDriving. We rode to a friend’s birthday ice cream crawl. Protected lanes mean friends and cousins can ride side by side. https://youtube.com/shorts/eIiC1OMlizg

Wrapped up the #WeekWithoutDriving! Solo bike ride this morning. @timcoffman & the teen went to a board games meetup at lunchtime using the bus. Tonight the teen & I took the bus to a Silent Book Club meeting in East Nashville. Something that surprised me was that the buses were pretty full even on a Sunday early evening. First time I’ve seen one of the e-ink bus stop displays, very nice! Waiting at this bus stop was tense bc the street it’s on is high volume, fast, & cars are so close.

I'll be in bed soon, so that's the end of #WeekWithoutDriving. I was able to travel a total of around 190 km walking, rack-and-rolling and bike->LRT. The weather was spectacular and I was in control of my schedule for the most part, so very manageable. Absolutely a couple of trips in there I would have driven had the challenge not been on! This would have been a very different exercise in winter...

A section of greenway boardwalk that was closed for repairs for months reopened this week. So happy to have this long + mostly zero traffic ride option available again! About 34 miles round trip to the J Percy Priest dam and back. #WeekWithoutDriving #BikeTooter

Day 7 of #WeekWithoutDriving began with a 450m walk to Tim’s for breakfast sandwiches. On my way now to Riverside South for a community event. I’ll bring my bike on the train and am expecting to catch the 70 to rack-and-roll on the far end to get to my destination 4 km from the station.

I wrote up my #WeekWithoutDriving day yesterday in a blog post here: https://www.jeffleiper.ca/week-without-driving-saturday-edition/. Today is the last day and will be much easier!

@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] A1: Posting from Seattle, WA. I took up #WeekWithoutDriving this year. I rarely drive so the challenge should be an easy one, except my daughter demanded I drive her to her Japanese school twice a week instead of biking her. Luckily, she now prefers biking! I've just got one more day to go. #BikeNite

91 kms of travel today, roughly, by bike and rack-and-roll. Tomorrow will be easier to round the #WeekWithoutDriving out...

Rack-and-roll to Baseline/Centrepointe on the 88 was easy and fast - but, man, was it crowded! Easy 10k ride home, most of the way with a dear colleague on a beautiful autumn evening. That was a heck of a test of the #WeekWithoutDriving. Now to update the spreadsheet - ugh.

@kimu I don't drive most weeks.
If I forget to drive for too long the battery goes flat and, being a rather old car, it can be a bit of a pain to get it going again. So I try to remember to go for a drive once every three weeks, which seems to keep it working.

Decided for day 6 of #WeekWithoutDriving to combine our usual Saturday farmers market trip with a stop at the grocery store. Really appreciated how the Hopper can be turned into a cart, it was handy at the market. Hauling it all was a bit much, even with pedal assist. Nice to have food tasks taken care of for the weekend though. Enjoyed the Halloween decor in the neighborhood near the market! #BikeTooter

#WeekWithoutDriving day 5: rolling by other commuters to school at a traffic circle is always nice. We ring our bells to say hello.

Fridays are an office day for me, so day 5 of #WeekWithoutDriving involved a bike commute. The teen was off today for conferences so no ride to school to start the day, just straight to work. Tonight, @timcoffman & the teen took the city bus to meet up with friends while I headed out on a group bike ride, the Music City Dope Pedalers. Great day. Breaking our non-driving streak tonight though bc the teen is getting a ride home after going to a play. #BikeTooter

A1. I am in Oakland CA as usual. I am participating in #WeekWithoutDriving as in posting about it, but I'm not undertaking it as a challenge, as it is what we usually do. But hopefully it raises awareness. Even in the USA, 1 in 3 people do not drive, but much of our infrastructure is designed for those who do.
The campaign is supposed to highlight the challenges people who don't drive face. There are many, but driving a car isn't always awesome either. So there's a lot of good to highlight also.
I'm looking forward to trying to complete the #coffeeneuring challenge. I hope I can make it 6 different shops!

Day 5 of #WeekWithoutDriving was a bunch of short trips around the neighbourhood walking and cycling with one longer shopping trip where I used bike->LRT for the return trip. Tomorrow will be the big challenge as I'm around the city for some commitments - and the train is down for testing. (values in this sheet of travel-to-date are meters). I may have to grab the car if I start falling behind.

Day 4 of #WeekWithoutDriving was a busy one. Usual bike ride to school with the teen to start the day. This afternoon we had parent-teacher conferences, so Tim took the bus & I biked there. Tonight we took the bus to join in on a Vision Zero walking audit along a busy corridor - the bus route with the largest ridership, but also a huge volume of fast moving traffic. Identified some easy to fix things that we’ll report but lots of complicated issues too. #VisionZero
