According to his piece in this Guardian article about the benefits of the daily walk, writer Geoff Dyer doesn’t own a car. Good on yer Geoff, welcome to the Carfree Choosers. But I can’t help noticing that not owning a car seems to be a bit of a bloke thing. Where are the women who have made the choice to not own a car? Is owning a car linked to women’s emancipation – a way to be less dependent? Maybe the research is out there. Answers on a postcard, preferably from carfree female choosers.
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
