    I heard that the last ship from the middle east coming to the US with oil would arrive on April 15th so we have yet to experience the shortage of oil just because of how long it takes these ships to travel across the world. People act like everything is fine and here I am stocking up on supplies and I purchasing some bikes for when gas becomes a really big issue. I hope I am wrong and I am just another crazy person but I would rather be somewhat prepared than pretending like everything is fine.

        You’ll stay healthy for life if you bike to work everyday its worth it for that reason, but it sucks not having the dedicated bike lanes that other countries tend to have.

          Yup, thankfully I live in an area with bike paths and trails, and I can take it to work. Its beautiful. But yeah rural America doesnt have any of this
