I'm likely to commute on my bike more often. I suspect Cheryl might be doing the same. However, the reality is that we both live very close to our offices, so the difference in consumption would be minimal.
We are both planning on more and longer recreational rides this season and the price of gas will not interfere with those plans. To offset the higher cost, we might have to order one less post-ride cocktail per night --- wait! That's crazy talk. Maybe, we'll just try to ride a little slower to save fuel --- wait!! That's crazy talk, too. Hmmm... let's see, the kids are too old to be sold on the black market. We owe too much on the house to sell at a profit and live in our truck. I could take a second job, but then we're back to crazy talk. I guess we're just going to have to dig in to our retirement accounts and plan on moving in with one of our kids when we run out of dough. Problem solved.
