My School is Undriving!
The Undriver Licensing Station came to my school – YAY! Here I am with my new license – I lost my other one. 109 kids got their licenses – holy mackerel! That’s like, a quarter of the WHOLE school – we have 400-something. Look what they are promising to do this month! Support Undriving: October [...]

True confessions: Undriving to Undriving events is a challenge we don’t always accomplish. (Making the Undriver Licensing Station™ more portable is one of our many works-in-progress!) However, for Moving Planet Seattle on Sept. 24th, we were determined – so Natacha and I bused it, then hoofed it, with all the stuff pictured here. When you [...]

We bused it downtown today to set up the Undriver Licensing Station at Dendreon Corporation – great view, good snacks, inspiring Undriving pledges from employees. We always enjoy the creative ideas people come up with – for their pledges, and in their photos. Something new every time! For example: Susan was happy to make a [...]

Today I was heading to the Greyhound Station, to catch a bus to Leavenworth where I’ll be presenting and doing Undriver LIcensing™. Could I wrestle all my stuff to the Metro bus stop? Probably, but I opted for a cab instead. (Sometimes a cab is a useful part of an Undriving journey!) Cab rides can [...]
Undriver rides coast to coast in Velomobile!
Meet Undriver Thomas Traber of Munich, Germany – he pedaled his velomobile across the country, sporting his Undriver License™ the whole way! Imagine a pod of these three-wheeled recumbent “bikes” covered with fiberglass shells, rolling down the backroads near you… “I got my Undriver License at Portland’s July Sunday Parkways. I was in Portland, OR [...]

Was walking past my neighborhood park and this stencil caught my eye: Great inspiration to be found while Undriving!

For Debra Alderman, the bus is more than transportation.

Undrivers #2,542-2,546: The Biking Spivaks

Filed under Blogroll, Undriver Stories
The Spivak Family got licensed last year at ArtsWalk in Olympia, with Intercity Transit. A great Undriving moment for me: Watching 12-year-old “Z” help his youngest brother Milo come up with his pledge. (That’s the future of Undriving, I thought to myself!) Read on about the Biking Spivaks: “Our family tries to ride bikes whenever [...]
