I've been walking more and more because it helps my back. I find I'm saving money walking to do routine errands. I am seriously looking at getting a bicycle.

I'm using my car on fewer and fewer occasions these days and inability to afford gas isn't one of the reasons.The exercise is good for me (essential,according to a couple of my doctors),I despise OPEC and the USSR,saves wear and tear on my car,keeps miles of my car (increasing its resale value) and I save a little $$$.

I doubt you would if you lived in a rural area. If was 20 miles, one way, to the grocery store you would be real busy just doing that.

I've noticed a LOT more bicycles in town where I live. The Mexicans have always used bikes more, but now I'm seeing a lot of college-age kids of all stripes on bikes, as well as what looks like older retired folks taking bicycles to do their minor grocery trips. College students use bikes a lot normally around here just because it's so hard to park a car on campus... but now I'm seeing them on their bikes at Target and the grocery stores. That is new and recent.

Remember those news clips of the Chinese cities back in the 1970s and the sea of bicycles? That's what they want for all of us "peons." While they take the 747 to New York City for the weekend.
