I would like to do some video blogs about experiences of weaning myself from automobile culture as I'll need all the support I can get (87% of all Reginians use a personal vehicle for commuting, so it's gonna be a radical change).
Remember: my Geo has cost me $560 a month since I purchased it a year and a half ago, plus the Tempo which has cost me $192 a month, even with the little amount I've driven it. Choosing to ride my bicycle and walking would save me at least $752 a month as no doubt gas prices are going to rise more.
A blog on this site would really connect myself with others and hopefully prove to viewers that living without a car in a suburbia-designed city like Regina is in fact possible.
