A discussion forum for those interested in the carfree cities concept. Includes discussion of related transport and energy issues. Companion to the presentation at Carfree.com and the newsletter Carfree Times. Only intended for discussion of personal experiences as they relate to the larger issues. This is NOT cycling or transport group, although we do talk some about these issues.
This is now a large group. Please follow the group for at least a month
before making your first posting, and please familiarize yourself with
the material at Carfree.com. Better still, please borrow the book from
your library. We try not to go over old ground in this group. The first post of any new member is sent to me for moderation. If I don't like the post, I don't approve it, and your post will not appear. If I am out of town, it may take 10 days for your post to appear.
