I am so glad I commute on a bike. Just heard that gas could hit 3.00 a gallon this summer, WTF. The reporter talked to a lady, asking if she'd be giving up her SUV, she said "No, I love the power."
I saw a car being towed the other day, and smiled, you won't find a bike being towed off from where it died, I don't need no-fault insurance, tabs, AAA doesn't rescue me. There are a number of reasons I am grateful for the commute by bike. What are your's?
