We're car-light and I agree with rockmom. Our closest friends are either car-free or car-light as well so our daughter thinks the people who drive everywhere are the oddities. In our small college town we often see groups of high school & college kids riding downtown in pairs and groups, so to her that looks like a perfectly normal way to get around town together. I hope she continues to think that way as she gets older!
