The 2009 No car, Low car, Whoa! car challenge is getting underway September 1st. The deadline to send in your participation information is August 31, 2009 at midnight. I have decided to do the No car challenge which means no driving or stepping into a car for the month of September. I will be commuting by bike to work and for all other errands and meetings, etc. Since I teach on Saturdays, I was always afraid of arriving sweaty or 'outdoorsy' looking to my classes. But now, with panniers and a bike trailer, I can haul all my teaching stuff as well as fresh clothes, makeup, etc. I think that it is better to arrive fresh, alert, and energetic for the day than to worry about hair and makeup to the point that a great opportunity is missed. I also love seeing how students' eyes sort of light up when they see a bike. This is going to be fun!
