Sad but probably true.
My wife works with a lot of people who drive 20-40 miles one way to get to work and many have gas-guzzling SUVs (comfort-mobiles for the long haul). Bike commuting isn't an option for them --- but they made the choice to live way out in the hinterlands. Those folks will be the ones who will really suffer with rising gas prices.

my bike.
