Jessica and I rode the old English 3 speeds to work today, in honor of Earth Day and our car being out of gas. Hoping it forms a habit. Twas a tad chilly at 37F when we left the house but we had our love of the earth to keep us warm.
Speaking of habit forming, I know a lot of people with high efficiency cars get hooked on hyper-miling—changing their driving behavior to max out every last drop of fuel and/or electricity with the help of the instant feedback mpg readings on their dashboards.
Not my bag.

Hyperhousing?
KiloWatching?
