    yes I do own and use a bike for local trips.

    Assume your WaWa is 5 miles roundtrip, your job is 20 miles roundtrip, and your car gets 20 MPG:

    Biking to WaWa 1 day per week saves 13 gallons of gas per year.
    Working from home 1 day per week saves 50 gallons of gas per year.
    Working from home 5 days per week saves 250 gallons of gas per year.
    Commuting 5 days offpeak saves (some amount) of gas and emissions.

    So come on employers, show some patriotism here!

    If you bike to WaWa 1 day per week and save 13 gallons… How long will it take you to pay off the bike, and the cold-weather riding gear?

    Though hesitant to bring this up, has the lack of exercise caused a shift from hotness to lumpy, thick-waisted middle-aged physiogomy?

    The above statement while humorous simply could not possibly be true. Everyone knows that a lack of exercise has nothing to do with obesity. It is simply genetic.

    I was just wondering, as there is only 2 jnd’s (“just noticeable differences”) of hotness between donviti and liberalgeek. Perhaps the gap has closed.

    Did he break his foot too?

    Also, did you notice a sort of enhanced depth of hotness due to the sympathy-gimp inherent in crutches, not to mention that sort of manly sports-star “I hurt myself for the team” ambiance?

    Consider getting your bike from the Urban Bike Project. Help needy Wilmington kids.

    That’s where I got mine.

    I will only buy a bike if it is airlifted by itself to me from China.
