If people rode the bike in my city more it would drive down traffic more but since everyones job is kinda far from their home they would be tired and or sweaty when they get there.
@SandvichGod That might be like saying that you'd love to make people unemployed because their job is way too far. A huge economic restructure, it being unnecessary itself, would need to be done. A better alternative would be to fund alternative fuels, which is from taxpayers, so that's still forcing. How about this: Let the oil run out, everyone does something and we're all happy, deal?
I just bake in a car, maybe we should all just turn our vehicles into Ovens, and buy bicycles and drop out of this corporatecracy! Live Free and End Now this prison sentence they've drilled into our heads!
Ya you can go ride a bike 20 miles to work (especially in 105 degree heat, cold blistering winters and pounding rain. There is no such thing a a local jobs anymore and no mass transit system here where I live
nothing is to far. sometimes people are just to lazy to think of another way. if you have a wife, dose it make sense that your sleeping in the same house with her? if you had to move to be closer to her would it be too much of an inconvenience? people need to stop and think about ways to save. rather then find reasons to make more money.
Lizard juice yeah, I remeber that from school and all the mainstream movies like Jurassic Park , but seriously what if oil was produced naturally by the Earth ?
@substanti8... Yes, very good, the key is asking "What if" ? ..but what was the empirical evidence for the theory of the Earth's oil supply originating from lizard juice again ? Ps. ...on the pig wing question : It would really depend on the wing power structure in relation to the aerodynamics of the pig, :)
if only riding a bike was viable for most commuters. can you imagine riding 30 miles in the middle of an east coast winter to and from work? not happening.
and sadly even electric vehicles will take a long time and enormous investments in infrastructure before we can even marginally reduce our reliance on gas powered vehicles.
we need a "get-off oil" manhattan project & the political will to make it happen
@jasonsadventure "... viable for most commuters." See, there's your problem. Why are there commuters? A hundred years ago, people could pretty much walk to work. Once we had suburbs (and urban sprawl), people had to travel further and further to work. Rearrange our work force and the need to travel so much diminishes. In fact, a lot of work can really be done by telecommuting. There are other options to driving cars to work.
@amazingbollweevil "rearrange our work force and the need to travel diminishes" see, that's your problem...
how does a waiter telecommute to his restaurant or a fireman telecommute to her firehouse or a plumber, autoworker, dentist, cop or landscaper? moreover, those jobs for which telecommuting is viable are likewise vulnerable to outsourcing. nations based on such "rearrangement" can be ravaged by lower priced, overseas workforces
sadly, telecommuting is not viable for most workers
@jasonsadventure "... a LOT of work can really be done by telecommuting." This is quite different from "ALL work can be done by telecommuting." In English, the phrase "a lot" does not mean "all." It means "a large number." I should point out that it does not imply a majority, but just a significant number.
Of course the whole point of my reply was that we need to move people closer to the jobs (and vise-versa). A waiter or firefighter, for example, can live within walking distance of work.
"most commuters" does not, in english, mean "all commuters"
with regards to moving people closer to the jobs, i.e. concentrating together work and the workers, is a prescription for growing big cities bigger. this inflates housing costs drive low & med wage earners to cheaper housing farther away.
it's easy to say "just do this" it's much harder to understand the actual consequences.
Wife stared biking to work after 9/11. She bikes 8 miles there & 8 miles back about 80% of her work days. People in rural areas obviously can't but with public transportation the roads in cities could/should be bare
I'm really enjoying this series. :)

@SandvichGod A law banning cars is still the same as a ban on cars, banning is a part of the word 'ban' used in a different place.

"Abiotic oil" is like cold fusion.
It's not supported by science; it's only supported by ideology.

im all for bikes, or at the very least alternative fuels.
i dont get why rely on fossil fuels. its messy, expensive, and polluting.
i say make hemp available for people to grow themselves and you can grow your fuel in your front yard!
but of course....big corporations dont like that kind of personal freedom :P
not good for business.
