I keep thinking of how I can change daily routines in a way that's better for me and the environment. I'm not ready to bike to the grocery store yet (too many hills separate us!), but pre-planning all trips about town for efficiency is a start! Good for you!

All under control. No pollution. No noise. Only the feeling of beeing free. We are really looking forward to meet and stay with you on Wednesday. Had a blast of a time with a childhood friend from Monday to Tuesday. And we are following le Tour de France everyday. For us, it's really fascinating. <strong>DianeCA: </strong>We are really looking forward to your dropping in. Hope a lil girl like me can be included in the gentleman's blogging club! We too find Tour de France extra exciting this year ;-) Welcome! You are so right – biking is pleasant – King of the Road. All under control. No pollution. No noise. Only the feeling of beeing free.

Not only are you saving money on gas, you're getting some exercise too =) I need to get my bike fixed! Since we moved to a different house, it's been broken because we had to sort of dissamble it to get it to fit in the car. :P Anyways, as much as I want to, I don't think I'd be able to bike around that much either. Most of the places that I have to get to are pretty far away. But if I just have to go to the grocery store, I'd rather walk. It's an uphill battle. I always get kind of scared when biking uphill! <strong>DianeCA:</strong> Every litte bit helps, and just about all of us could use the extra exercise :-) Keep on Walking, I do that too!

And it's healthy and better for all of us. <strong> DianeCA</strong>: We have a car free weekend in Norway as well.
