Now that the weather is cooler do you still walk or ride your bike to run errands?

There aren't any errands that I can do by walking, but I do ride my bike to do certain things. It's getting a little chilly for us, but I still do it. As long as the road is dry, I'm good.

When we lived overseas I walked SO MUCH. It was great. We had great public transportation, and I went to an open air market almost every day for fruit/veggies etc It's just a very different lifestyle in many parts of Europe compared to the US.

it's pretty warm down here. the other day i was wearing a tank top! i am walking more, because it's not too hot, and i am trying to lessen the imminent cabin fever that cold weather will bring.

I've been walking my kids to school. It's about a five min walk and I used to drive them there...times have changed! I've been getting off my butt and walking them to and from school everyday. They love it!
