Oil Problem? What Problem?

 High gas prices are a devastating burden for America’s poor but it’s probably the only way to force the country to start making wise choices about fuel consumption. How else are we going to get people to stop buying 10 cylinder trucks? Or is that some sort of constitutionally protected right, like cheap gas? High gas prices have made many Americans reconsider living in suburbia and commuting insanely long distances to work every day.  Europeans have been dealing with high gas prices for decades and as a result their car industry specializes in small, super-efficient cars and their urban design and public transportation models also reflect the need to conserve fuel.

If a bicycle isn’t already a part of your personal transportation model it probably should be. If you live in an area where riding a bike isn’t practical you should probably ask why.
