Well, that’s it. I’ve damn near had enough. The Gub’ment forced my hand. They saw my $2.55 and raised me a quarter. With gas in my area hovering around $2.80, I have no choice…I must invest in a decent road cycle and start pedaling to and from work and other places around town. I figure the money I would have spent on about 4 tank fills will buy me a good quality touring/road cycle. Add a few rear-end modifications to accomodate cargo and I’ll be all set.
Do I want to give up my car? Of course not, in fact I can’t; I will still need it for longer trips and major shopping runs. But for getting to and from work and light grocery runs, it’ll be all human power. And why have I been forced into this drastic measure? Simple. Acording to the Gub’ment, demand outweighs supply. And why the lesser supply? Because the oil companies claim they don’t have the money to repair the coastal/off-shore rigs and refineries damaged by hurricane Katrina. Don’t have the money??…
WHAT THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN DOING WITH THE MONEY YOU’VE BEEN GOUGING FROM US FOR THE LAST EIGHTEEN MONTHS?!?!??
Buying the CEO’s and chairpersons of the boards luxury autos and houses no doubt. I’d like to meet one of those executives at my local gasoline station so I can put one of those pump nozzles right where it belongs…straight up their ass, and I won’t stop until I hit the back of their teeth.
That’s all I can stand to do right now. I’m Sora, I’m pissed, and I believe it’s time for us all to seek transportation options that aggressively diminish the need for petroleum-based fuels.

Nothing wrong with peddle power! I ride my bike everywhere now gas has gotten so expensive.

Well, *maybe* one thing wrong with pedal power: I can’t find anyone to do it for me.
But with the money saved not buying gasoline, maybe I can afford an assist motor for tough hills and such. Thanks for stopping by, and tell a friend! (or an enemy)
