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

Carfree: Elaine King
Elaine sent me this message. Enough said….
”I gave up my car fully two months ago. I had an old car which was coming to the end of its life, I thought could i do without one. I cycle to work which is 12 miles there and back. In the winter it is cold, but I have got used to it - I have lost weight, feel fitter and love the out-doors, and I save around £50 a week. I thought it would be hard at first getting shopping and big items but you soon get used to it. My family and friends think I am mad and keep saying to me when am I going to get a car. I say I am not!!”
