Today I filled up my car at the gas station and it was the first time gas was over $4 per gallon for regular unleaded. You have to wonder at what point do people start thinking about riding bikes for short trips. I’ve read more new stories that it is making a difference.
I used to commute by bike a lot more when I worked 15 miles away from home. Now I work 1.5 miles away, but often have to drop a kid off at school, or pick the kids up from childcare on my way home. I’d be interested in getting a bike like a Surly Big Dummy. I would just need a bike that I could pick up an 8 and 10 year old on. A lot of it just comes down to planning ahead and riding the days when I don’t have to use my car.

That is funny, I have been looking for an old mountain bike to put an Xtracycle http://www.xtracycle.com/ on. I have heard great things about these setups, I live near a guy who has one and loves it.
