Why My Car Now Has Two Wheels...


Yes, I went shopping on my bicycle the other day. 42 miles and 3 1/2 hours later I had saved about $15 on fuel. In fact I've been riding a lot more regularly of late, including several 20 mile rides, and two 40+ mile rides.

Perhaps it's because of painfully high fuel prices, or maybe because the Tour de France (the world's premier bike race) is currently in session...or both. Either way, I'm loving it.

I love long distance biking. I've got to get myself a road bike, though - I've got a mountain bike that weighs 30-40 lbs! Good muscle workout, I guess, but that's about all it's good for.

I'm going to start biking; partially for that reason :) I found myself a road bike, but since then, I have to say, "what he [Stephen] said."
