Whoa... That's quite a bit below average, which according to TNS of Horscham, Pa, was ~51km round trip. I used to pull ~7-9 miles one way, in 100+ degree heat and the worst AQ in the entire country. But truth be told, it's not for everyone, and having cheap, efficient, reliable, environmentally friendly transportation would be nice... And yes, I agree, this should be in foo. Aaron, you should consider talking to your company about having a small diesel powered velomobile built for you that's registered/insured in an accomodating state as a motorcycle. Ironically, the biggest hits were going to see are going to be inflation based because so much of our economy is based on trucking, and there's not much we can do there to increase efficiency. At least not compared to personal transportation... The only thing I can think of would be to drop the speed limit for semis to 50mph and enforce it, fuel consumption would be cut in half, and time would only increase by ~35%. It's a shame our rail system's in shambles.
