Goose, do you ride? I started at age 11, and 27 years later, I'm still at it. (current ride - '03 BMW R1150GS)
absolutely, damac. I ride four days a week to school...it's absolutely liberating. I've not been in my car much at all lately other than for long-range travel.
I recommend it if it's viable for you, whether biking or scootering or something.
Of course, biking is best for you, but even the scooter, once you get used to it, it really is not that hard. Get some panniers/scooter storage though!
Been riding an Aprillia Scarabeo 50cc scoot ever since a friend in the oil industry said gas is going to the moon shortly. I get 90mpg and the insurance is 102.00 per year. cheap cheap cool down after working 12 on 2 off 8hr shfts.
