Oh, I've noticed when circumstances require that I drive, that if that goes on for several days then riding the bike seems inconvenient. One has to have experience the fun and benefits of riding to overcome the 'inconvenience' factor.
Driving is pretty inconvenient for me in a psychic sense, certainly it is 'inconvenient' from an ROI perspective. It would be a great thing if auto fuel were more costly but that is unlikely to ever be the case. We do love our cars. All that having been said I think bike commuting will remain a niche kind of thing. -JimD On Apr 30, 2012, at 7:49 AM, Allingham II, Thomas J wrote: > Agreed.
