I created this group in hopes of finding friends in the area that enjoy biking, walking and using public transit to get to places, activities and functions. My husband and I choose to live car-free, renting a vehicle when the need arises. I have a variety of interests and expect the group to have an even bigger variety. Examples of outings might include: biking to Algonquin Commons for shopping; taking the train to Arlington Park and biking over to Woodfield; taking the train to attend a race day at Arlington Park; biking through the forest preserve and through Palatine to the Twin Lakes Recreational Area; taking the train downtown and attending a concert, play or museum; enjoying a movie as a group at the Catlow; dinner meet-up at a local restaurant; book discussion at the Barrington Area Library; group walk or bike in the Barrington area. Additionally, in the future we might plan a bigger trip to an area of interest where we might carpool to the activity.

    I thought it was a great start! I still need to come up with a list of ideas.

    "What draw me to this group was the fact the organizers live in the suburbs and get by without a car! I like the concept of the group and that you can do a variety of activities that don't require the use of a car.…"
