I pulled into the Vons gas station on Herndon and Fowler today to put a bit of liquid gold into my car. It was $3.93 per gallon and that was WITH the three cent discount that Vons gives to Vons Card holders. Anyway, before I put my credit card in, I looked at the fill-up total of the person who used that particular pump before me. The total on the screen was $190!!!!
It couldn't be better timing for May 12-16 to be Bike to Work Week. I biked to school for the first time in a few months this past Friday. It was invigorating and it was good exercise. You don't have to make it a race; just take your time and enjoy your ride. Any old bike (that works and is safe) will do, but companies are putting out better and more affordable bikes that are great for commuting. 
The Trek Soho (though it is rather expensive) even has a rubberized bumper-type feature on the top part of the frame so the frame won't scratch when you lean it up against a pole to lock it up outside the grocery store (or wherever you go). There are also bikes from Electra that are becoming really popular. Here are a couple of great links to commuting by bike:

Just think, $190 can get you well on the way to a brand new bike that you can use over and over for years to come! See you on the road.
