Ditch the drive to work

From the Chicago Daily Herald, a decent article on Chicagoland bike commuters. While the article starts with a focus on saving gas money by biking, I was happy to see this quote which, while only one sentence in the whole article, provides a better context;

"Three things are now behind the increase in bicycle commuters, says League of American Bicyclists spokeswoman Elizabeth Preston: the obesity crisis, global warming and high gas prices."
