What if you were approached by someone who is completely "clueless" about using public transportation, or more deeply and significantly, living the car-free lifestyle. What would we tell this person?
Humor me for a moment and let us, then, compile a sort of guide for the would-be car-free citizen. Of course, there are all sorts of books out there, but we'd like this one to be gleaned from our own experiences, as well as those very books that we've read. I'll begin with one "to-do" for our car-free-living guide.
1) If you live in an area where going car-free is not popular or is frowned-upon, be prepared to develop a "don't-care" attitude.

2) Locate your local bicycle co-op. They will be able to help with a bicycle and give give information on the best routes through the city.
3) The suburbs and so-called ex-burbs around the overwhelming majority of cities are built around the idea that their residents are motorists. Strongly consider moving to urban areas where services such as grocery stores are nearby.
Love is the law, love under will.
