Are you seeing more bicycle commuting, utility lately?

Gasoline prices are sure pushing into new territory lately. Adding pain to the situation is the rapid inflation of food cost. Ouch.

Gas is over $4.05 in Washington, DC this week.

Our family is already making some changes. Of course, I have always been a bicycle commuter, but now, I insist that my teen son bicycle to places with me rather than us taking the car. I tell him that it is HIS world we are saving. My wife absolutely refused to bicycle anywhere for any reason and that won't change. However, I did stop her from driving to the QuickieMart for a cola yesterday.

So, what impact is it having in your neighborhood? Are more people choosing bicycling as a mode of transportation?

It might be a little difficult to know if a rider is transporting or out for leisure, but I think you can tell.
