And you don't get popped for drinking and driving!

Man, that's fab. $0.00 and 9/10ths. Inspired. You're right, it is the perfect vehicle. I gotta get on some safe streets here in the burbs.

I recently pulled my bike down from the rafters and spent a weekend riding around Amelia Island (FL). It was envigorating and I want to do it more often.

GoJeffrey - you're lucky livin' in FL, biking weather all year round! But I guess summers get pretty yucky hot...

Actually, I think walking is the most sustainable and healthy way to get around. It's also safer, and slightly cheaper.

Bikes are faster and more fun. They aren't a reality in Las Vegas. While my neighborhood has bike lanes, road construction has forced cars into them. The fact that they don't really go anywhere except to the WalMart and Starbucks and not to my job, 25 miles away, means that they're more of a political statement than a useful addition to our choices for commuting.

I appreciate where you're coming from, of course. I yearn for a car-free lifestyle. Driving causes anxiety and aggression in me. Plus, it's somewhat expensive, but less than $2000 a year all told, I think. One day, I'll escape the automobile paradigm.

last time i was talking about how biking is the best way to get around the city, i got doored mid-sentence (luckily it was on 9th, literally steps away from the door to the emergency room). superfun.

i still think biking is the best (although i do love a good walk), i just wish drivers would be more aware and more educated about how to interact with cyclists in the city. if i had a beer for everytime some asshole told me to 'get on the sidewalk', i'd be one superdrunk girl.
