If I combine the generally upward trend of gas prices with the fact that I’m cheap and I don’t really like to drive, automotive transportation is likely to play a decreasing role in my summer transportation efforts. While I generally ride the bus to my office, I find that I often use the car for errands. Not this summer. For the most part, I doubt that there are very few things that I need to buy that are too bulky to carry while riding a bike. So if I plan right, I hope to be able to seriously limit my car trips and make use of the bus, bike, and feet whenever possible. My plan is simple: unless I am required to look nice when I get there, there’s a threat of inclement weather, or I have to travel rather far away - no car. If all goes according to plan I should be able to keep a little more money in my pocket and a little less CO2 in the atmosphere.
