That said, there are more here in Louisville. It's not just due to gas prices or the economy. It more awareness that it can be done, that it saves money, and helps you get more fit.
funny thing is that we'll experience recessionary consequences if gasoline goes to $5 from oil prices alone (not raised taxes) which will feel like $10/gal. for those without employment. Other countries decided to price fuel higher with taxes with the result they've got 40mpg sedans. We've got relatively lower fuel costs and so many vehicles that it'll take over 20yrs for higher mpg vehicles to replace the old vehicles. So we'll see people riding bikes because they have one car in the family, or no car and no job.
