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

"Secret of staying fit and healthy is ditching the car and eating homemade meals."
Or so said the headline to a report in the Daily Telegraph a couple of days ago. It sounds like the kind of thing this blog has been saying for quite a while now. But if it’s now in the Telegraph…All based on pukka studies, as you can see here.

Quote of the Week: A Lightbulb Moment for a car guy
“In the past 100 years, the automobile has shaped the city rather than cities shaping the automobile. In the future the opposite will be the case: cities will start to shape mobility.”
Chris Borroni-Bird, Director of
Advanced Technology Vehicle Concepts, GM
(Quoted on p10 of this Forum for theFuture report on Megacities).
