Jill, thanks for the comment. I actually have a scooter, which I can’t wait to break out once the weather is better. I know through enough scheduling and sacrifice we could make it work but we’re so damn busy! I’m involved with a variety of community-based initiatives and organizations and feel participating in those things are more important than saving a little more gas than normal. Something has to break, right?

My partner and I also share one car, but we avoid schedule conflicts by each having a bicycle (which are our primary mode of transportation). That way, if someone needs the car for something, the other person still has the freedom to get about. I used to live in St. Louis and found the downtown streets amenable to bicycle commuting…a decent amount of bike lanes and wide or multi-lane roads. And getting set up with good commuting bikes is far cheaper than a new car!

Yeah, I need to get the old scooter out today and see if she’s still breathing. We’d get a hybrid if we got anything . . . it’s just getting one at all that I’m struggling with.
