I agree with what you're saying, bragi. While I'm not car-free, I'm here because I'm interested in maintaining and enhancing a car-light lifestyle for myself. I'm interested in cycling as personal transportation, not just recreation and I'm interested in reasonable and sensible alternatives to driving when practical.

Should we perhaps have a Peak Oil subforum here, similar to the Vehicular Cycling subforum in Advocacy and Safety?

This is exactly what I'd like to see. We have all sorts of practical real-world situations where we want to go car-free. The post about hauling bikes on a motorcycle is one example of this. The grocery post is another.
