Gas prices reaching that level is only a matter of time whether its in the next couple years or the next 5 or 10 years. I live close to work at 7 miles now and it will be cut down to 3 or 4 miles within a few months when I move to a new area. My girlfriend rides her bike to work several times a week already. People have asked me why I bought a toyota tacoma which only gets 20mpg with gas prices but once I tell them how little I actually drive it makes a lot more sense to them. For reference I maybe pay $120 or so in gas on a bad month as it is right now I also supplement my driving with my motorcycles which get 40 and 50mpg....I do not have them for the gas savings and have them because I enjoy them. It is often a false economy to buy a motorcycle for commuting because after you pay for a moderately priced commuter bike and riding gear and tires that last a fraction as long as a cars tires you are often better off buying a used car that gets decent mpg. Many bikes also don't get much better mpg than many cars keep doing exactly what I’m doing because I’m realtively prepared for it.
