Have you guys heard about this? If not, warning: it's kinda scary and depressing. The fact that oil is under $60 a barrel now is optimistic for the time being, BUT...

Thoughts?
All I assume is that people can try. Possible (in the vast majority of situations).
I realize that there are circumstances...but it's definitely not enough to say "not possible."
As I said, I'm not assuming that everyone can do it. But you don't know until you try. That's all. I never even thought about riding a bike ANYWHERE when I was living in TX. Where I'm from, if you ride a bike or walk..you are 1. crazy 2. homeless 3. probably crazy and homeless. There's a stigma. It just never..crossed my mind to get a bike. I'm sure it would have been possible..just not easy. I know there are situations, and I'm not looking down on anyone for not riding a bike. I just hope that some people can look past what they currently see as obstacles, think about it, and try it out. Do whatever you can do.
I'm peacing out. jk

I certainly think it is possible for many and I wish there were more opportunities ? um equipment may be a better word, so that I could ride my bike to the store rather than the car. Maybe this winter I will get my bike worked on so I can ride it to the park with dd. I know my dh will have an issue with this because it is on a backroad, but when I drive it again I will double check the safety of doing this.
