    I always get a little warm spot in my heart when I remember reading (somewhere) that the US highway system was originally designed for bicycles. (not cars, BIKES)

    Gas prices went up here for the start of the warmer weather, and my LBS says their commuter bikes and used bikes are selling like wildfire.

    In my area commuting by bike saves me gas money the price of my commuter bike in about a month and a half.

    Last summer when the warm weather gas prices hit, one of the shops was advertising their bikes in "tanks of gas" equivalents. (like, "this comfortable commuter costs 5 tanks of gas")
