And the other time saver is you avoid the problem of searching for parking. I think gas prices are causing more people to think about it and do it. A few months ago there were only two or three at the most bicycles in the bike rack at the gym where I work out. The past few weeks it has been full.

Who'd a thunk it? The pictures make the place look so crazy. Not so sure I would want to ride there. Might make DC seem tame in comparison. They have bike lanes in Bejing? Who’d a thunk it?

However, just think of all the exhaust you'd be breathing! Looking at that picture, I suppose I’d rather be on the bike path. However, just think of all the exhaust you’d be breathing!

That picture is disgusting! I hate traffic too, and we have taken to walking every where. My limit tho, is One Hour of Walking, each way. If the place is father away that that, we just dont go there anymore. ack! That picture is disgusting! I hate traffic too, and we have taken to walking every where.

But not until I can afford to replace my sorry excuse for a bicycle. It's served me well though -- 15 years of miles all around south Texas, Provo, Salt Lake City, and Boston.
