+1 on trying to stay more positive. But you can't define your subforum as "car free" without frequent reference to the other side of the coin. To me car free is a beautiful ideal. It does not necessarily mean bicycling (e.g. Venice) but we get here through Bike Forums.

I live in an area that would never come around to accepting bike/ped lifestyle versus car lifestyle UNLESS peak oil and the "Long Emergency" kicks some butt. It is starting to do just that. I want to celebrate that here.
