I agree about finding better methods of travel that don't require gas. I also think, on that note, that more cities/etc. need to help put some of these options in place. In my city, summer is the most grueling time of year, as temperatures reach about 110F+ daily. 130F is not uncommon- but very unbearable. To walk/ride a bike is almost impossible in the heat, and many people in our area have died from heat exhaustion while trying to do so. (Not to mention the hot sidewalks and paved streets can easily pop bicycle tires.) I'm sure it's the same in areas where it is very cold. It's time for those in charge- considering that is what they were elected to do, to take the lead and build up better options for people in this time of crisis.
