It depends on the commute. If you've got a bunch of highway driving or you're in the north, it might not be worth it. Too much bad can come from meeting a semi or soccer mom that didn't see you. Or the weather kills the pay-back.

The cycles I'm looking at are all under $1K. A bike will probably be around $300-500, but I don't know if that's a workable solution yet.

Don't forget to throw the plastic shopping bag out the window into the street on your way back.

Plus, if you smoke, empty your ashtray out the window while the vehicle is moving. The carbon ash is good for the environment and the drivers behind you are very appreciative.

Also don't forget...on that commute, be sure to gun the engine when starting out.

None of this gradual acceleration pansy shit.

Ok, so you don't take the X out because of gas prices and you see that as doing your part. That's like the ugly kid saying he's not getting laid because he's ugly, which is how he's doing his part to prevent teen pregnancy. What you're saying is YOUR part in this is not having enough money to drive your truck. Wow, thanks for your help! For my part, I'm carpooling - three of us in a Polaris Ranger racing our way down Broad Street to get to work. We don't use the A/C (no doors, no A/C anyway) and we are wearing helmets to keep tax payer costs down in case of a crash. We also don't drive over 25 MPH. You can thank me later.
