on 10/8/2008 A bicycle is always an alternative if you are able to walk. Between busses,rides,companion program,and walking I've gotten away from having to drive, after a severe disability.

on 9/11/2007 for best results, complete step two (bus) ONLY after trying all other steps, and the one hidden step: Taxi.

on 11/22/2005 Rollerblades are slower than bikes, but I found them to be perfectly convenient. I used rollerblades during 3+ years at college, usually for grocery runs, but also for any kind of errand that didn't take me too far away. It's also decently convenient, if the nearest bus stop is far away, to rollerblade there then change into shoes for the bus ride. A big enough bag can carry the rollerblades while you're not wearing them. I usually wore a large backpack to help carry purchases.

on 11/22/2005 Ride a scooter! I get 60 MPG and reach speeds of 40+ MPH. I wear thermal underwear in the winter and water resistant clothing when it rains. It beats walking or biking.
