Good for you! I wish a bicycle was a more practical consideration in Los Angeles, where I live for most of the week. And public transportation here is a long-planned disaster, by those with a vested interest in selling automobiles and gasoline. But Laguna Beach? It’s very hilly where we are, but maybe a good ten-speed would be an option. You have me thinking…

I get around mostly by bike and by foot, using public transportation when those don’t work, and, only when absolutely necessary (usually a couple times a week) driving. I think you’re right that transportation in a truly eco-sustainable future is not going to be based around individual passenger cars, no matter the gas mileage.

You’re right, for very short trips and local shops, walking is unbeatable. What’s becoming more apparent to me is that the slower you travel, the less you miss, which makes the experience of travelling much better.

Another good alternative which requires no capital investment at all — walking.
