New poster here, but I've posted everywhere else. I dunno if any of y'all ever heard of "Peak Oil", but I'm a firm believer in it. I tend to see cars as more of a toy than an actual thing to do everyday work with. The way most cities are designed and/or crowded now, 15-25 mph is the speed you could really go without slamming into someones @$$. I use my mountain bike to go all distances within 10-20 miles of my home, and I do it quite easily. Hang shopping bags from the handlebars or tie it down to the rack. My Bronco II that I bought 2 years ago sits in the garage 90% of the year. I only use it for long distance trips since medium/long distance passeneger bus/rail isn't available all that much up here in Victorville, CA. We do have Amtrak and Greyhound, but even with all the suburbanites from Orange, LA and Riverside counties moving up here, no one is even lifting a finger for the addition of a Metrolink line to the High Desert. As far as the whole of passenger rail goes, we could very well see it coming back again due to rising petroleum costs. Joe Sixpack and the rest of his dumb family will have to get used to riff raff of the transit. Because unless he's able to shell out $100-$200+ a fill-up, his SUV will be doing what mine has been doing for the last two years. If it isn't in the scrapyard by then. Oh, and a sidenote, I've only had my drivers license for 2 1/2 years. I was 20 when I got it , and after driving in horrible traffic for six months, back to the bicycle I went.
