So, I had a 9AM haircut appointment at the Mall 9.5 miles from our house.
I rode!
Familiar roads half the distance, but then busy highways with rocky shoulders, not good!!
Anyway, I made good time on the trek...only to have the consternation of a couple of mall employees get uptight when I insisted on taking my bike into the mall (there are no racks...and also no "no bikes" signs). I was prepared for the debate about why I couldn't have a bike in the mall when I was standing right next to cars from a local dealership...but they didn't push the issue against my insistence)
On the return trek, on the highway, I only had one "bubba" who wouldn't get over into the clear other lane and clipped by kind of close at 60mph in his 1974 Chevy Pick-up (License # 915975), but otherwise a good ride on a HOT day.
So, I saved 1 gallon of gas AND got my exercise.
