I wish people would start the process of
thinking! How could someone spend $35,000 and up for a car
that sits on the freeway for hours moving at a slow
pace, when they can spend $30 to $150 on a bike and
ride where they need to go. The more I ride the more I
can see not buying another car. Every now and then I
think about getting a car, especially when it rains,
but I am falling more in love with biking. I may get
a motorcycle again. That is better on gas and is a
good companion to a cycle. Anyway, I wish one city
would stop listening to the automotive, gas and oil
industries and start to promote the healthy lifestyles
biking can offer.<br><br>Now let me get off of the
pulpit and sit down.<br><br>Thanks
