Having been a regular bike rider (for fun, not commuting) in the past, I'm going to predict that the fun and satisfaction of riding your bike will outweigh the glamour of driving a Caddy anyway! <BR/><BR/>p.s. for your next car: how about a Prius?

I said that I would not get another car until I lose 85 pounds.<BR/><BR/>Since March 1st, I've been riding my bicycle. I'm not going to worry about gas prices for the summer at least.<BR/><BR/>It's not glamorous going from a Cadillac to a bicycle, but I am learning about new things, that's for sure.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8600248025662223449.post-29669253502621683422008-04-25T08:48:00.000-07:002008-04-25T08:48:00.000-07:00I am so with you on living in the country and bein...I am so with you on living in the country and being unable to take buses---I used to live in a town where the "transit center" consisted of a gravel-filled lot on a side street! And, yes, our buses came once every hour. If you missed the one you needed, too bad. I really feel for people who don't have access to great alternatives to driving.<BR/><BR/>One of the reasons I moved to Portland was for the public transportation, and I haven't regretted that decision. However, lots of people aren't in a position to relocate. <BR/><BR/>I'm glad you like the blog! I'm having fun and learning so much. Hope to see you here again!Finally Frugalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12273720976098302248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8600248025662223449.post-21899411889945573032008-04-25T06:58:00.000-07:002008-04-25T06:58:00.000-07:00I would love to take a bus or carpool but because ...I would love to take a bus or carpool but because I live out in the country, there aren't any city buses and there isn't anyone that I know of that works the hours I work in the city that I work in. So that sucks... and it's too far to ride a bike... <BR/>BUT! I have slowed down and now use cruise control on a constant 55mph. I did that yesterday morning on the way to work and I think I might have pissed off a couple of people. BUT! you know what... they should have left in enough time to drive 55 themselves! so HA! and BOO TO GAS PRICES! :) <BR/>By the way.. I love the blog!!!Kerihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08306264441488429198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8600248025662223449.post-6731656905720373412008-04-24T16:33:00.000-07:002008-04-24T16:33:00.000-07:00With gas at $3.80 for unleaded and $4.10 for supre...With gas at $3.80 for unleaded and $4.10 for supreme, I think a lot of drivers will find the car pool or van pool a great option. I also think slowing down and leaving for a destination early is a great idea as well. Great blog. I will add you to my blog roll list and would love if you add mine to yours.Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03204146419002116219noreply@blogger.com
