Ok, I Might Need A Car
Today was a real challenge in the CarFreeBrad world, actually the last few days have driven me to question my resolve to remain CarFree for the foreseeable future. Ironically, this internal struggle has nothing to do with any of the CarFree issues and challenges the last few days has brought to the forefront but the…

Why Startup Founders Are Always Sad. A Rare Glimpse into Me Off the Bike!
I try really hard to keep my Bike life and my Startup Life separate but in reality I can’t. It’s not reasonable to just not mention the part of my life I go to sleep thinking about and wake up itching to get to work on. I put on a brave face and a lot…

Boston Globe Coverage, For Reals!
I’m a little sad to report that I wasn’t able to work CarFreeBrad.com into the conversation. The Globe reporter was very focused on Freight Farms. Anyway, I didn’t get much coverage but I’ll take a few lines on page 7 of the Business section if I can get it. I feel like this just opens…

It’s a LOT closer than you think
I’ve been forced to do a number of things on my bike during my CarFree time. The strangest aspect has been the adoption of running errands CarFree! The whole process of “getting stuff done” is different. Like everything else in my life now, I have to plan it better and more carefully. If I know…
