My friend Derek Glass is too busy developing digital community tools like Sustainability Scout to do much writing, but he gave me permission to share the following from a recent email message.

This is how we make progress, one story at a time.

“I still have a drive to the north side everyday for work, which I grudgingly do. I’d love to find a way to get rid of that. Bike ride would take an hour and a half a day and the bus times didn’t really fit my work schedule, plus the bus doesn’t even go all the way to my work.

BlueIndy stops at 62nd street. I was actually just getting ready to sell my car before I got this job. I was working downtown and biked the last 2 years to work. I think I put on 1,000 miles on my car last year.”
