"When is Not an Option: Steering Away from " by Anna Letitia Zivarts @Nondriver@social.ridetrans.it

Thanks to Monterey Public Library for purchasing this book. It arrived at the library this week, and we biked in to pick it up just before library closing this eve.

Thanks to @BarbChamberlain for bringing the book to our attention.

While we don’t live a car-free life, this is an important book for many reasons! It also brings to mind what one of the teachers for a bike tech program we founded often hears because he bikes for transportation nearly everywhere: "Did you get a DUI?” (he didn’t, he simply prefers biking to driving).

Cover of book ""When Driving is Not an Option: Steering Away from Car Dependency" by Anna Letitia Zivarts / Foreword by Dani Simons - Drawing shows five people at sheltered bus stop, including one in a wheelchair, two with canes, and two others. A bus is pulled alongside the stop, and the driver at the wheel is smiling, his face turned toward the people at the stop. Sticker at top of cover indicates the book is from the Monterey Public Library collection and includes a bar code number. A yellow sticker at top of book’s spine is only partly visible. (That sticker says “NEW 9.”

@bikemonterey It's pretty damn good. It does not read like a lot of other transpo books.
