[...] Click the Zipcar and rent a ride; if the weather clears, even better. [...]

I use Zipcar in SF. It’s nice. I like that they pay for all the gas.

Hey JS and LL! Let me guess… LL got to work this afternoon and said ” Hey J, Alyk talked about you today.” I didn’t think you’d mind the attention.
A parking spot at Ikea on Saturdays would be worth the 9 bucks an hour, unless you want that mile-and-a-half walk from your car to the door.
That’s a hell of a lot of walking without a decent space:
1.5 mi to the door
4 long, meandering miles in the store (with no escape!)
1.5 miles back to the car
Seven miles of dodging cars, carts, and carriages. It’s no wonder I’m always in such a foul mood when I leave that place.

Hi. This is JS, mentioned above. I love being talked about online. It should also be noted that bringing a Zipcar to Ikea gets you a special parking spot closer to the door. Woot!

I don’t understand why more people that live in the city don’t do this. A friend of mine lives in Cambridge and she says she would never own a car as long as she lives there. She has been thinking of using Zipcar for errands. I will have to show her this article.

thanks Alyk.

What a great plan! Sounds so nice for the environment too.

What a genius idea! Maybe they’ll install such a system out here. (Right after the city gets out of debt enough to implement a public transportation system even marginally decent/reliable enough to allow such an option. HAHAHAHAHAHahahohgod.)

Very popular here in DC. Looks like some Zipbikes may be in the works as well to help people get to Metro stations from nearby residential areas.

I know a few people who have used zipcar and they LOVE it. Hell I know how much I loved my Charlie Card when I was working in Downtown Crossing. I only wish they had this when I was at Northeastern.

I think car-sharing is the way to go. I am going to join Zipcar as soon as I sell my car.
