The book really is highly recommended :) I considered an xtracycle for a while, but really, I just don't carry a lot of stuff when I'm on my bike. I'd like a little basket for it though -- Thanks people.

I just moved to a cute downtown San Mateo apartment. I'm biking distance to work, yoga, and all my closest friends. I'm also 3 blocks from the train station which will take me pretty much anywhere on the bay area peninsula that I need to go. I love the change. I've only been there a week and half and I'm already making plans to avoid the car as much as possible. I'm considering the purchase of an Xtracycle and might even sell the car down the road if the Xtracycle lives up it's potential. The book sounds great. Thanks for the recommendation.

I think time spent in transit is quality time too because I can read or take naps instead of dealing with traffic. The Your Money or Your Life book makes me realize how valuable it is to work from home. I'm actually more productive and my voluntary commute is a 5-10 minute walk to the cafe. I gotta checkout the book. I have the same thoughts about traffic versus transit. I think time spent in transit is quality time too because I can read or take naps instead of dealing with traffic.

After being car-free you really forget what a nightmare driving is. For all the hassle of dealing with public transit in LA, I'm still left feeling much better inside that when I'm forced to drive. Your post reminds me of <a href="http://metrorider.elhay.net/2007/03/02/i-drove-today/" rel="nofollow">one I wrote earlier this month</a> after I took out a Flexcar to go to Culver City... watch out, it contains lots of swear words.
