I donated my car and traded my wife's car in for a nice "new at the time" 2003 Saturn ION Quad Coupe. She drives it way more than I do. I do enjoy driving it on the highway sometimes.. I must admit.. but on those really nice days that I do end up driving it... I wish I was riding the bike. We are crazy enough for just having "one" car in our suburban area of St. Louis. People think I am a weirdo... but this has been the case for years since befor cycling I ran a marathon! Since gas prices are still going up and to lowering too much people don't think I am so weird anymore. I say keep the gas prices going up UP WAY UP!!! That will keep people from driving as much and make the people who bike not so crazy anymore. This year I have seen many more commuters and even had a commuting seminar at my workplace! I am sorta on a tangent... sorry!

Keep Cycling!
