Oops. WGx meant to publish a bit more proactively on the topic, since one of our WG neighbors wrote about World Car Free Day on his website. Gary Wiens from San Jose Metblogs tells the story:

On Monday September 22, people from around the world get together to celebrate a day without cars. With gas prices at an all time high, Carfree Day is the perfect time to leave your car at home and get around your neighborhood and the region by foot, bike, bus, and train or by sharing the ride.

Only WGx was admittedly asleep at the wheel, due to another busy Monday in real life. To make amends, you’re invited to consider the story of a transplanted Willow Glen family now living in Amsterdam, where car-free day was apparently Sunday … and was legally mandated. Bet that would’ve impressed Gary … ;-)
