Glad to read series on bicycle riding
Friday July 25, 2008
Thank for your series on bike riding by Amy Reiter. I think it would be wonderful if everyone would start using their bikes more. The exercise would do most people good and the benefits to the environment and to lowering gas usage and gas prices would be more than all the offshore drilling you can do. I know everyone can't get their old bicycle out and start using it instead of the car, but if just some of us do, we can make a difference.
I started commuting to work on my bike last year – about 12 miles round trip. When I started, I couldn't pedal constantly the whole way. Now that's no problem and my trips to the corner gas station have been greatly reduced. I'm very happy about that.
