Take one less car to work!


From One Less Car's Winter 2005 News Letter

Our new arrow program garners national support

One Less Car has been granted $5,000 by Bikes Belong to develop our new Due to pilot in Spring 2006, ARROW will work with 200 participants in host workplaces to provide information, training and ongoing support to successfully encourage employees to reduce their dependence on cars, increasing their health and transportation options. By providing an orientation seminar, team structure, short training sessions and following up with mentoring and support groups, along with physical changes to the workplace, the program will change commuting behavior, resulting in healthier and more productive employees, reduced traffic, more bicyclists on the road and cleaner air.

take action! Let us know if you think the ARROW program is a good fit for your workplace. This program is in development so we are recruiting workplaces. Contact us at info@onelesscar.org.

Like most people I live a hectic life and who has the time for much exercise? Thanks to xtracycle now I do. By using my bike for daily activities I can get things done and get an hour plus work out in 15 minutes extra of my time, not a bad deal and beats taking the extra time going to the gym. In case you are still having trouble being motivated; the National Center of Disease Control says that inactivity is the #2 killer in the United States just behind smoking. ( http://www.cdc.gov/nccdphp/bb_nutrition/ ) Get out there and start living life! I can carry home a full shopping cart of groceries, car pool two kids or just get lost in the great outdoors camping for a week. Well I got go, another outing this weekend.
