Did you know? Short car trips (over distances that could easily be bicycled) are much more polluting than longer trips on a per-mile basis because 60 percent of the pollution resulting from auto emissions is released during the first few minutes of operation of a vehicle.

I don't bike now but I miss the carefree days when it was a regular habit. Hoboken is a mile squared so I walk everywhere or take the PATH, NJTransit light rail or commuter train. Here's a special shout-out to our friend, a public interest attorney in NYC, who bikes from her apartment to the ferry which takes her to work in Staten Island. Go Bike Lady, ride like the wind!

My two favorite things in life are libraries and bicycles. They both move people forward without wasting anything. The perfect day: riding a bike to the library.

I'm addicted to biking. Once you start, you can't stop. Any other means of transportation becomes abhorrent. Besides the exercise, it also lets you experience the city in a whole new way. Get out there and get on two wheels! But don't forget your helmet--Bikelady.
I drive for work and get 48.5 cents/mile, so as long as gas stays below $5/gal I'm making money !!!! I get about 15 miles per gallon, so thats about $7 every gallon. OH YEAH !!!
