Carfree day

Le sigh! World Carfree Day 2009 (today), would fall on the first rainy day we’ve had in a while here in Cazenovia. So, rather than biking in – as I usually do – I ended up getting driven in to work. It’s a short enough journey (under a mile) that it could be walked, had I budgeted another few minutes in the morning, but I must say it’s events like this that make me miss the Champaign-Urban MTD. Not sure when I’ll be back in a town with such a comprehensive, reliable service – or, indeed, any public transit service. Until then, I’m guessing cars are going to play a larger part in my life than I would otherwise like (though I do have the aforementioned advantage of being close enough to work not to need a car on a day-by-day basis, even if I’ve been warned that biking in the winter is going to be a bit of an adventure here).
