More Pedal, Less Metal

It turns out there are some positive, unintended consequences to the constantly-rising gas prices.

Say what?

The $urge in fuel oil, coupled with Americans' gas-guzzling automobiles, are getting commuters to consider alternate modes of transport, sending lots onto public transportation--many for the first-time, into carpools and onto bicycles.

This bodes well.

I'm not in favor of sky-rocketing gas prices, but if it gets more people off the roads, perhaps it is...

...Not. All. Bad.
