Any ideas??

[Trek420]

We really want to emphasize the savings on fuel costs these days. I agree that, that fact alone should get more minds contemplating the idea of commuting. I will probably put together a list of the three most common vehicles in the USA and what they average per mile and go from there. Just to give people a general overview of what they are spending and where they could be saving.

I think people already know how much they pay and how much more than before. Many just don't know the basics of how to do things on a bike. They have the bike in the garage, out on the porch but don't know the basics.

Lesson one: think off streets, side streets, less used roads. These newbies are mostly driving their bikes on the same d@ng blasted busy streets they'd drive

Do you have bike clubs in your area? Can they be enlisted to do a "novice rider series"? That's what most people need, low pressure, fun, learn all they need to know.
