^^ YW, modena!
I really appreciate your posts too!

And I fully agree with you, I hate these people parked, with a running motor, listening to radio with A/C... Or the people taking the car to go to the 300m-far store to buy some bred...

Here in Paris we have something brilliant, called the Vélib (contraction of Vélo and Liberté, so bike and freedom).
You have so-called Vélib stations every 300m in the whole town with maybe 20 bikes in each, and you can take them. The first 1/2 hour is free, it's 1€ after it for every half an hour, limited to 4€ I think for a few hours. It's just fabulous. Everybody is taking it all the time. Easy, unexpensive, healthy, and not polluting.

Now that is something that can easily be done to reduce the need for a car or a cab. And it doesn't cost any cent to the city because it's JC Decaux who installed and runs it against a free advertising-items contract in Paris.
