Especially since even with large subsidies, car drivers still have to pay a huge amount of money.Helen Bushnellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14177708490995175178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3404302351458508234.post-49826286488437029622010-08-03T13:52:30.580-07:002010-08-03T13:52:30.580-07:00It's a short commute: just under 10 miles roun...It's a short commute: just under 10 miles round trip (and I'm able to ride mostly bike lanes, bike paths and side streets).
