Actually, I do... when I have the time and the good weather. No, I don't do it because it is cheaper. I do it because it is good for me to stay in shape and work out and because I don't what to waste gas and power from the cars, it's bad for the envirement!!!!

Answer 6

No, I drive a HUGE 4X4 and tear up all the grass on my way.  It is sweet.

Answer 7

If I didn't have 3 small children to drop off in the morning, I would ride my bike to work.  As soon as they are old enough, I will ride my bike to work.

Answer 8

I think so. Either that or a horse.

Answer 9

I tour on a bicycle. It's not cheaper but a lot more fun. Retired now, so no work to ride to, but would if less than 10 miles. Sadly, the infrastruction in this country is not very condusive in most places for cycling.

Answer 10

I used to like to bike to work, but as I was a driving instructor it didn't work out too well.

Answer 11

During our days we went to school on cycles/bus, to college on two wheelers/bus and to work in cars. It was not so polluted during those days.

Answer 12

I'd like to....but the roads have got busier and half of the drivers out there are mad!

So...I drive lol!

(If you can't beat em .....join em!)

Answer 13

Well, I take the subway.   For both  reasons--its cheaper and cleaner.

In most industrialized countries, people have options--rail, bike paths, etc.  The US is the only developed country in the world where the average citizen often has no option but to drive a car everywhere.  We're suppposed to be the "capitalist land of the free."  But we are given no choices in transportation.  And, unlike other countries, the government monopolizes  the means of transportation via a system of state owned and operated roads (which is socialist) and in most places won't allow competition from private rail or bus companies.

All of which are not 'liberal" policies--they are neoconservative ones.

Answer 14

I ride a bike when it is nice out, but I walk or take public transport when it it cold/wet/rainy/snowing.  I don't like to get the gears and brakes wet on my bike.

I do it because it is cheaper, better for the environment, and in the case of biking/walking, it is better for my health.

Answer 15

No.

Answer 16

i use a bike or i walk

Answer 17

Yes it keep me fit but not because its cheaper

Answer 18

It is healthier all round, unless its raining and windy.

But yay.... I think if more people did this the world would be a better place in many ways..

Less stress, fitter people, less pollution, calmer roads.

Yay for the cyclists :)

Answer 19

I walk to school and everywhere else.

That's mainly because I live in Venice; I could use the public transports (boats)... but no cars at all!

Privileges of living on an island!

Ciao!
