A Northern Colorado City Ranked Top 10 Best To Live Without A Car

Remember being a kid and not being able to wait until you could drive? Not having to ask for rides, or wait for public transportation to get around? As a kid, my family didn't have a vehicle a lot of the time, so I personally, couldn't wait to turn 16 and get my own wheels. I worked at a skating rink as a kid and my boss, the absolutely amazing late great Chris Cran, gave me an advance that I paid back to get my first car when I was 15. It was a 1977 Trans Am. I paid $1500 for it and I couldn't wait to drive it by myself.

I loved having a car, or truck these days, but driving isn't for everybody. If you live in Colorado and would prefer to not own a vehicle, where is the best place to live and still be able to get around ok? The answer is one of Northern Colorado's favorite "little" towns.
