High Gas Price Showing No Sign of Bike Increased in US

American car-addicted culture would hardly give up car and replace
with two wheel of human power transporter. NASCAR addicted people
just can't give up their car. American is the last
people on earth to ride a bike. The bike symbolized the underclass
and homelessness in US. For middle and upper class, bike is a just
fun and recreation device. I saw the largest number of bikers in
street on Fourth of July. Even gas price reached all time high,
American just can't
give up the cars. The price of gas has to go up over $7 then we might
see some significant increase in bike usage as the transporter.

99% of everyone I have met (in the central US) has little-to-no interest
in Nascar.

Riding a bike isn't a sign of being poor, riding a BUS is. At least
people with bikes can afford a bike!
Or at least, that they can steal a bike. :|

And most of the driving that most people do seems to be because they do
not want to have to live close to where they work.... If you want to
reduce the fuel you use, living close to where you work would be the
best way, because that's the trip that you make the most.

All this soft-headed claptrap about "walkable neighborhoods" and whining
about Wal-Mart is just idiotic horse-pucky, of not recognizing the first
problem (of excessive car use) and then coming to an incorrect
conclusion for the second problem (of not reducing the longest, most
common driving that most people do).

F*kin hippies, I swear.
If I win the lottery I'm having a custom solar-powered electric Hummer
built, just to run them off the road. Having one good idea about
reducing pollution doesn't mean you're not a total idiot otherwise.

Er, that should be "NA$CAR".

Well, quite a few people can not afford to live close to work,
especially those in service sector jobs in the suburbs.

about Wal-Mart is just idiotic horse-pucky, of not recognizing the first

Indeed, gasoline prices are not a big deal when you have to fill a small
tank every 8 weeks or so.

Why not a pedal powered Hummer? http://www.bikeforest.com/rhoades_car.php
