well jim. i lost licence due to a dui "driving under the influnce" and i ride my bike to work now. an ill tell you. if every one rode there bike to work not only would there be a heck of a lot of bikes but there would be a lot of fights. because with all the people who are impatent driving they would have a hard tiome getting along biking 10 miles side by side with out some sort of aditude and confrontation. but i think we all would be better off. when i get my "hard ship" "cinderella" licence in the next couple weeks i will prolly ride my bike to work on the days i have enough energy to. my work is about 10 miles. its quite a long time. it takes me 40 minutes to get to work on a good hard ride. close to an hour if i take my time or if im tired. if its raining i get a ride from family.
