I parked my car two weeks ago with less than 1/4 tank of gas in it. The computer said 13 miles to empty. I have been biking ever since. When I pick my kids up with a bike and a trailer, or tag-along, their friends always ask "Where's your car?" My daughter says, "It's at home in the driveway. This is better for the Polar Bears." After spending this winter and spring following you, our family has made a commitment to conserve energy in every way available to us. The kids are right on board. Now they fight over who "gets" to mow the lawn with the push mower.
