I grew up in strip mall hell on the outskirts of Lansing MI, home of the Oldsmobile. I worked as a professional driver through college then again after I moved to CA. But I couldn’t afford my own car due to low wage work, so I biked & bussed. First out of necessity, then because I loved it.

The car free urbanist I am today was not inevitable. I grew up in the suburbs of Baltimore and Atlanta. I was driven and later drove myself everywhere. Then, I was exposed to something different... I learned that you could in fact live life without a car... It was a gradual transition...
