[quote=Jim Jones][quote=JC]Anyone ditched their vehicle for different ways to get around? Any tips? I’m trying the biking thing, but would be interested to hear about other modes too (i.e. public transport).[/quote]
When gas hits $4+ this summer or some Middle Eastern drama takes center stage.
I think electric assist bikes may have the ability to bride the gap between regular rides and those who would commute if San Diego was much flatter. I personally would purchase one of commuting stated to break the bank. I ride in to work a few times per month. Using an electric assist would make it possible to do daily even with a 17 mile ride each way.[/quote]
My neighbor down the street has an electric assist bike. Since his commute is all hills, he didn’t want to get to work sweaty. He LOVES it… passes all the cars when he goes to the front of the queue at red lights, then they pass him up… It takes him the same amount of time as when he drives.
