Core77 Righteous Gift Guide Highlight: Books to Help You Get Rid of Your Car
Posted in: Uncategorized
Instead of adopting a highway, consider the opposite and ditch that guzzler instead. This pair of beautifully written texts covers all the angles. In addition to revolutionizing pop music in the early 80s, David Byrne has spent the last 20+ years riding his bike through New York City and dozens of other cities, and Bicycle Diaries, his recently published book, is crammed with graceful odes to the joy and sensibility of urban cycling.
Once inspired, move on to Chris Balish’s step-by-step instruction manual for living a car-free life, How to Live Well Without Owning a Car. The book includes some convincing statistics about the true costs of auto ownership and tips on getting just about everything done sans combustion engine…from commuting to shopping to dating.
