Carfree Family of seven


A rare photo of all 7
Summer of 2011
 Can you have a Carfree Family?
YES!

A year ago, a Hillsboro family decided to get rid of their minivan.

Now the family of seven traverses the suburbs by bike. In this video, 15-year-old Vivianna talks about what the year has been like.






Thanksgiving is just like any day for our carfree family: food cooking before dawn, mom out for more before the store opens. Grateful for organic food, family, cycles, and the sun's brief appearance during a beautiful ride! November 24, 2011
 
 
We at Carfree American are so proud of this family of seven taking away the excuses of not being able to be carfree because of a family-they are proving YOU CAN HAVE A FAMILY AND BE CARFREE TOO!
You all are an inspriation!!!
 
See more pictures of the carfree family and let them know what you think on their
 Carfree Family Face Book page
 
Happy Holidays and may you walk, bike, or ski for transportation this winter!
 
Peace,
Bill

    Good for them riding instead of driving, but whats with them riding on the sidewalk? I thought Oregonians knew the cycling rules of the road.

    Actually it is legal in Oregon for bikes to be on the sidewalk, and in fact it is recommended for children under age 10 not to ride in the bike lane.
