I bet truck owners and SUV owners are really taking it up the ass now.

yeah, bikes are the way to go right now if you have short commutes. i decided im gonna tap into my savings and go out next weekend to get one. it just seems like ive been thinking about it for years, and wasting money all the while. could use the exercise...could use the money...and i think, as others see more people riding bikes, it encourages even more people to do the same. a bike revolution is about to happen, me thinks i wont be selling my car, but i might take it off the road for a while.
anyone ride bikes during the winter months? do you have to use spiked tires or something?

i drive home from the city every day. there was this one biker that i would see every day weaving through traffic, narrowly missing cars, not looking where he was going, now this is one of the busiest streets in town, always loaded with traffic. everyday he rode his bike like this, there were a few times when he bolted out in front of me and i narrowly missed him. then one day i was at work and we had the news on tv, guess who got plowed over by a tractor trailer? yup the trucker didn't even see him, he got sucked into one of the back wheel wells and the only reason the trucker noticed was because a bunch of cars were honking at him and yelling to pull over. so if you're buying a bike make sure you're safe, this guy was an apparent idiot. and remember, a helmet won't save you if you get hit by a car...

Prolly no need for spiked tires.
I live in MN, and usually a thin and tready cyclocross tire does the trick.
The biggest factor is staying warm, and is totally doable with the right garb.
I wear hiking boots, wool socks, light snowpants, thermal undershirt, hoody, and windbreaker. For my face, its a hat, facemask, and goggles. Works good, and I stay warm sub zero. Just dont let yerself cool off, cuz yer sweat will freeze and that sucks big time.

I go to school in Statesboro, GA. Gas here rose from $2.6* something to $3.00, and they are saying that by tonight there will be no more gas in the town. All of our gas stations are lined up. My roommate and my friend just left to go fill up.
Thank god I filled up yesterday :P To bad my bike got stolen a week or so ago

haha. I can't wait until this shit REALLY hits the fan. People aren't even that pissed right now. Wait until they start trying to pull $10 a gallon.
I walked to the gas station last night.. to buy some chocolate. The guy who was in line in front of me, paid $70 to fill his tank. That's not funny. Well... it is for me... hahahahahahahahahaa

Just wait until it's not funny for any of us, car or no car. Wait until everything rises in prices due to inflation. Wait until everything that needs to be imported (ie. food/produce) goes up in price from higher trucking costs, etc.
Not funny.
