The End of the Car Generation?

Breezing past the que of Honking cars, filled with Frustrated drivers, I wondered when a more comprehensive shift, in the American lifestyle will occur?     Truly, we Bikers were having the more pleasant morning. I got to my destination as fast as my legs could carry me. On my time, at MY pace.  Best of all without the stress of being late, no fear of being trapped in Traffic Grid Lock. Even if I got a flat tire, I could by pass traffic and walk my bike.
When my Family immigrated to this country, they lived, worked, played, shopped within a walkable community. A system that worked - local-finger-tip-living! While the car is here to stay, maybe it's time to rethink how we want to live and enjoy our lives everyday.....?!
