Delaware’s bicycle maps have tips on how one can live car free or car-lite in Delaware. The tips can be used for any place.

Its easy to live a car-lite, or even car-free, lifestyle in Delaware! Use your bicycle and these tips to start down the path to a healthier, more efficient form of travel.

1. Find your home on the Delaware Bicycle Maps and draw a circle with a one or two mile radius around it. Use a highlighter to mark places inside the circle that you regularly visit.

2. Choose a familiar place and try bicycling rather than driving. See if you can find a comfortable route and secure parking. Add a new location every 1-2 weeks.

3. See if you can find a closer destination for errands that fall outside your circle. By slowly increasing the number of bicycle trips and incorporating transit or using a carshare program, you’ll be living car-lite in no time!
