Paris is returning another chunk of its riverbank to the people, freeing it from domination by motor traffic, according to this Guardian story. Paris may have lost the bid for the 2012 Olympics, but seems to be doing better in the battle against car domination. It’s a pity that carfree in London requires an Olympic triathlon or a cycle race to close the roads, and then just for a day.
Not owning a car is a great way to stay fit, save money, and avoid loads of hassle. This is a blog with thoughts, photos, ideas and links about carfree life: walking, active travel, public transport, places and spaces - things that matter to everyone, but even more when you don’t own a car. Photos are by me unless credited. Forthcoming: book on carfree life. Meantime, get in touch via email at carfreelifeoutsidethebox@gmail.com or Twitter @carfreebrighton
