Maybe someone who'd rather not spend all their money on gas & car payments?

I ride my bike to work all the time (and so do two of my co-workers). It sucks when it rains, or when texting drivers run me off the road, but I've gotten used to it. It's a shame the US doesn't have a better public transportation system or more bike friendly cities. (A faded out sign that tells cars to "share the road" does not do much good unfortunately).

There's always the American way: just get in debt! Do you have a problem with that or something? ;)

We pay an average of $8,500 every year for every car, truck and SUV on the roads today. That's a total of $1.5 trillion spent on transportation, every year. We could pay down the debt so fast if that money were magically redirected to the federal fisc.

I'm not saying we don't get our money's worth. But many drive much of the time because they have to, not because they want to.

Yeah, having lived in San Antonio for almost 2yrs now there is no way in hell I'm ever riding a bike here, no matter how much I want to.
