Maybe I'll go for a ride after work.
{Edit** and
here's a blog entry about this .
I think the blog is correct==this event is pretty big in some places. I subscribe to a Gogle News notification for the word "carfree". The places with the most carfree news are pretty consistently Indonesia and England, India is in the next tier, along with some northern European cities and a couple cities in Africa. I think these are areas with particularly bad auto congestion, and the governments as well as private organizations are interested in carfree as one soluyion to gridlock and pollution problems.
I think it's exciting that this carfree thing is worldwide and growing. I've always found that most carfree people are bright and forward thinking. We should all give ourselves and each other a pat on the back on 9-22-11, World Carfree Day.
