a few points id like to make...
two days ago i left work in the 'rush hour' period. took me longer to drive home than it did to cycle.
i did happen to purchase a car that fit what i would be needing in the future and what i felt was as friendly to the environment as possible. a chevy pickup. not a tank though. just the small regular size with a regular two seat cab. and the key... 4 cylinder engine.

at least i wont be spitting gas everywhere just to drive on a road.
when i drove to work, it felt awkward.
my bikes seemed to miss me the day i returned after driving to work.
im waiting to see how my cycling to work habits continue after the temp drops to below 20F.
thanks to all of you who mentions me being "cured" of my epilepsy. its great that we all support each other like that.
