I'm another guy that can't stand gas prices anymore. I don't have a terrible commute (only 2 or 3 miles), but there are a lot of hills from where I live to my classes at Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo. When I first started, I got very tired, and didn't think it was worth it, but after just a few days, it became much easier, and I have found that commuting to class is a great way to live. I just want to encourage everyone to commute by bicycle. I'm saving a ton of money on gas, I'm doing my little part for the environment, it's much easier to park my bike then to try to park my car, I get some good exercise everyday, and most of all it's way more fun than driving!
