How high will gas prices at the pump have to rise before you get out the bike in the shed?

Question

I stopped driving three years ago and I ride my bike every day, walk, or catch the city buss. I no longer get winks from the gurls but my bank account is once again swelling up from the savings.

Answer 1

I thinks its good that people are trying to get away from gas prices and giving up 10 MPG Hummer H3s.

But I can't, I have to use my truck to tow/haul equipment for business. It's easy for some people, but not for everybody.

Answer 2

If it went to $8 a gallon I would have to park the Tahoe for sure as the fuel prices are putting a damper on Christmas this year and these fuel prices will cause a depression as the keep going up as people just won't have money for anything else only the wealthy will be able to afford to drive. I see many companies about to go under and it is just the beginning. I think soon bicycles will rule the road. at this rate of fuel prices going up $8 a gallon will happen, but there will be fewer fat Americans.

Answer 3

I would like to say I live close enough to things to be able to walk.  However, I don't.  I then face another dilema......even if I were able to ride my bike instead of paying the high price of gas my a-s is now to big for the seat so unless I get some sort of padded platform for the seat, I'll be forced to pay the price of gas!  =D  Hope this made you smile!

Answer 4

i would buy myself a scooter like third world countries people do. get good mileage per gallon.

Answer 5

At $2.00 a gallon, I started bike riding, walking, taking the bus a lot more often.

Lost 20 lbs, saved some money, met some neighbors.

I am ready

Answer 6

Sure thing, Then I would end up in the hospital for sure. I would either freeze from the cold or die from the heat.

Answer 7

I don't have much of a choice.  My commute is 40 miles one way, but since my "other half" works downtown with me we commute together so we aren't spending gas on two cars.  The bus system nor the train go up my way.
