How I did it: I moved to a more bike friendly city 2 months ago. I was actually not comfortable going anywhere on a bike at my previous residence for various reasons even though I set this as a goal when I lived there. After moving to an area where most necessities are not more then 2 miles away I realized it was stupid to drive.

I actually biked to the Auto club today. I'm wondering if they will revoke my membership. HA! Strangely, there were NO bike lock-up areas there. hahaha.

Lessons & tips: Just get on your bike and do it. If you are going to drive to a location less then 2 miles away... or really even 5 miles away you may as well bike.

Resources: Look for Bike routes near you. Many city metro website will have these bike routes listed.
