Madison, WI seems to be doing a decent job of getting people outside by providing loads of bike paths and bikes to explore the city in a safe and fun manner. So glad you got to experience France and the fun ways to be part of the community.
The link to Ivan Illich is much appreciated. I’ve come to realize that, in many fundamental respects, a person must live in a decidedly counter-cultural way, if he is to resist the machination and homogenization of life as practiced all around him. Taking charge of one’s own health, whether through the realization that the medical establishment is there to make money, not to help people, or by carrying one’s groceries on a vigorous walk home, are great places to start.
Ah the charming walkable towns built before cars. How wonderful you got to explore with the family!! I think you’ll appreciate the principles and efforts promoted by https://www.strongtowns.org/. Love the shoutout to Phil Bess and ND!
