Now that it's warmer, I'm actually getting 100000000000000000000 mpg. How, you ask? On a Schwinn. Takes about 30 min to get to school (5 miles) and 15 min to get to work (just over 2 miles). If I drive, it's 20 min to school and 10 to work, mostly due to the terrible parking at our hospital and university.

I'm thinking about getting a road bike (mine is a relatively heavy mtn bike) to cut the weight and rolling resistance so I can cut down my commute times. Oh yeah, and your tax dollars won't be going to paying for my hospital visits due to diabetes non-compliance, the PVD in legs, CAD in my heart, and the 63 other conditions related to obesity that sucked up NINETY-NINE BILLION DOLLARS of our tax money in 2006.

Wanna save the world? Buy a bike.

And obviously this doesn't apply to the people who have to commute like 40 miles one way every day.
