I feel like Noah...saw what was coming and prepared for it.  Well...that's 
the way it worked out, anyways...

I get some mild amusement from all the media hype about gas prices.

See, I'm just a fat guy who got into the habit of biking to work a few times 
a week...a few years ago.  Now, I have a harem of two wheelers...and my 10 
mile commute can take as little as 40 minutes.  I am fully prepared to bike 
to the job daily, in all weather ('cept snow...I don't DO snow).  Whether or 
not I'll HAVE a job if fuel prices keep rising is a question best discussed 
in another post...

I am also mildly amused by all the "newly concious" drivers out there who 
have determined to "do something" to defray the high cost$ of operating an 
automobile.  Common refrain: "maybe I'll start biking to work..."

Uh-huh.  Suuuuurrrre you will.

We human beans can be very short-sighted, no?  My point is that if you are 
really SERIOUS about the bike-to-work-every-day thing...you would have 
started on it three years ago.  I'd love to claim superiority of 
insight...but I actually started this gig to get more exercise; besides, it 
doesn't take a Rocket Scientist to figure out where gas prices are going.

I hope to see many more of us out there.  I did see a few get in the saddle 
during the last Transit Strike...but after the strike was over the number of 
our two-wheeled brothers and sisters diminished again.  A very few of the 
hardy souls who started on the cycle-path actually stuck with it.  Perhaps 
this current crisis with fuel prices will convince more people to stick with 
it.  Guess we'll see in three years.

End of Rant.
