My wife and I work about 1 block apart. We drive together in the winter and whenever the weather is bad, but I bike in good weather. It's about a 3 mile ride or a 4 mile drive plus a shuttle bus, so I can actually get to work faster by bike. It's unfortunate that I can't get her to bike, too, because my biking doesn't save any gas or reduce any pollution (since our car makes the trip without me.) OTOH, this way I get a bit of exercise, which I sorely need, and I don't have to tailor my schedule to hers. I agree with those who have pointed out that it's worthwhile to make whatever effort each of us can make. Reduce, reuse, recycle. It's time to stop thinking of the earth's resources as infinite. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
