#WeekWithoutDriving thoughts: Helps not to have kids in a zillion activities, I know. I taught my kids to ride city bus when I started bike commuting; gave them transpo skills for a lifetime + independence, freed me from chauffeur duties much of the time.

#WeekWithoutDriving thoughts: I've already arranged my life to have transportation freedom without a car. When I need to be a nondriver someday I won't miss a beat. My dad lost his independence when he had to stop driving because he couldn't consider/use other modes. Not me!

#WeekWithoutDriving Day 3: Biked 8.5 mi for an all-day meeting. Delighted to see another bike parked out front when I arrived. Later I'll ride to Olympia Center for a class, then home.

Again had bike lanes for nearly 100% of my route. Thank you City of Olympia! And Tumwater too.

#WeekWithoutDriving Day 2: Walked to my neighborhood bakery for a meeting, with much appreciation for the colleague who lives not far from me and suggested we meet in person instead of via Teams. Crisp fall temperatures, sunshine, greenery alongside autumn leaf colors, sidewalks the majority of the route. Wonderful.
