10 Things to Like about $4 gasoline

Interesting.

I have certainly been seeing 'way more bikes on the road. On Monday, I probably could have counted somewhere between 50 and 100 bicycles on my way home, a trip which is just under five miles. The Minneapolis Greenway is just teeming with bicycles.

I don't bike, partly because I've all but forgotten how, and partly because when I purchased a bike, it didn't really fit me properly (I'm 4'9"). On the other hand, when my husband and I purchased our home in 2002, we chose it, not on convenience to the hwy (it isn't) but convenience to the train line that my employer is on. Unfortunately, it doesn't work for his job, but 1) his is closer then mine and 2) he can drop me off and pick me up at the station, so only one car is in use (and we bought a Scion, very fuel efficient, for him). I absolutely love being able to take the train by the way, it's a strong incentive to not change jobs.
