LILAWAC rides again!

Posted on | April 8, 2010 | 2 Comments

Back in February, I wrote a post here about my experiences living in Los Angeles without a car, and how I thought those stories were worth sharing, which resulted in my starting a blog by the same name (Living in Los Angeles Without A Car, or LILAWAC for short).  Shortly thereafter, my friend Erin – also known as that great graphic designer who redid the Seattle Bike Plan – read my post here and said, “hey, actually I’m LILAWAC right now, do you want me to revive the blog again?”  And I said SURE!   Erin and I go back a number of years; she moved to the Pacific Northwest when I moved to LA, and then she moved back to LA when I moved to the Pacific Northwest.   We were in grad school at the same time, albeit at different schools, and we both went virtually car-less at precisely the same time.  So I feel totally comfortable bequeathing my old blog to someone I know so well and who’s got a great voice and perspective to offer to others.

I think that Daphne (my bike, above) and Ruby (Erin’s bike, below) would get along well, should they ever have the opportunity to cruise together in person.

Soooo, I know I said that LILAWAC was retired before… consider this post my official passing of the torch and an un-retirement party  :)

Please visit Erin’s first post here to wish her luck, and don’t forget to add LILAWAC to your RSS feeds!

    [...] I started living in Los Angeles without a car nearly three years ago, and then had to stop because I was, ahem, overblogging, so to speak. Then Erin and I leapfrogged each other after graduating and getting jobs. Consider this our official passing of the torch. [...]
