What if — you took the bus to work for a week? Or even just one day?
I love when my schedule allows me to ride the bus – I can work or nap and let someone else drive.
Week without Driving is October 1 to 8.
I’m planning to take the bus from and to Crozet at least twice, thanks to Jaunt, and walk or ride to meetings in Charlottesville, and meet clients in Crozet via my bicycle.
- What could you do to not drive at least one day next week?
- What if you put your kids on the bus, or walked or rode with them to school?
- I’ve had several clients this year who chose where to look for homes based on proximity to Crozet Connect bus stops; the demand is there.
Check out the schedule at the Crozet Connect site.
“What if every U.S. car trip under 3 miles became a bike ride?
~19 billion gallons of gas saved each year
That’s about 15% of all U.S. gas use
At $3.75 per gallon = $71 BILLION saved
We’d end up spending lots of money at local businesses”
Every trip less than 3-miles by bike? … describes the PRC throughout the 1970s and 1980s…and look where they are now… largest car market on earth.
PRC is also largest EV market on earth. Once Jim gets older he will finally realize that his thoughts are not very inclusive…
I just choose to recognize the future we could have if we evolved.

The only problem is that you do not know what shape you will evolve to once you get older. Everyone does not share your view of evolution. Your views line up perfectly for an Urban dweller. There you can share your experiences on how many times your bikes were stolen in a year. Evolution is a big word that encompasses fact not opinion. How we evolve will be up to future people to analyze. Fact: The PRC has the largest EV market on earth. The majority there is happy not to be pushing pedals anymore.
