riding a bike is fun, come along.

I have been free of a car since mid December. I have used other options for my transportation needs. The main one being my bike. It has been a wonderful experience. I have felt more energy and have lost some weight too. I realize that having a car is a useful tool. Getting away from depending on my car to get me places is, in my opinion, a great place to be. With high gas prices and the global warming problem, maybe we need to look at more options. It's hard to change things at first, but if we all made small changes we could make a big difference.

Just a few days ago my co-worker, who lives a few block from me, started riding his bike to work. He told me I was his inspiration, that makes me happy. It's great to be someone's inspiration. Although my co-worker is a little upset with me, when he found out how quickly it takes me to get home compared to him.

So get a bike and go for a ride. If you can't commute to work then maybe make short trips on your bike, instead of driving. The important thing is to do something to conserve.
