A recent newsletter from Sustrans told of Albert, Rosemary and 1 year old Teifi who, even though they live in rural Wales, do not have a car and instead use cycling as their mode of transport. Albert provided the following tips for others inspired to ditch their car.
“Try doing one trip a week on bike instead of in a car, that could maybe be a trip to the shops to get a smaller amount of things in or taking the kids to the park.
“I’d recommend starting off small and slowly reducing the number of trips you take in the car.
“Obviously it does depend on where you are, but you can certainly give it a go.
“I guess it’s important not to see it as this massive challenge and more just making small tweaks.
“It does involve changing habits and making adaptations, but it is doable.”
