Nationally, gasoline prices are averaging more than $4 a gallon. That’s not an all-time record, but it’s up sharply from just over a month ago, and the rapid change has left many car owners reeling … but unwilling, or unable, to give up on driving. Americans have been logging more miles since the war with Iran started, according to the analytics company Arity, which tracks driving habits…

its not a contest, I also rode a bike when I couldnt afford a car. 8+ years I had a license but no car. The worst was when I rode 8miles to work each morning, but the best was going grocery shopping with a five minute ride and a backpack, and going to friends houses this way. Had a car a few years when I lived rurally, and beater cars were stull under a grand. Back to no car now, again, because poverty.
Do you know how feeing it is to not have to depend on a car to go places? No insurance, no registration, no gas fee.
Was $1.25 to slap my bike on the front of the bus and go nearly anywhere outside range.
freeing.
no contest
