by CheckRaise

I’m hoping that the current Gulf disaster encourages many more people to grab a bike and help cut our dependence on oil. TheFatLadySings has a great diary on the rec list with a video at the end showing bikers during rush hour in the Netherlands. It got me thinking about bike commuting, and it’s always been on my mind to write a diary about this topic.  I’ve discovered over the past 3 years of commuting to work by bike that it’s possible to be an irresponsible biker. Though you may save gas at the pump, if you’re not conscientious, you may end up using more oil than you have to. Join me after the jump for the details.
