Save Gas and Try Peddling

Peddle power will save gas

It may seem obvious, but I'd be willing to bet there are many times in a given week that you could eliminate using your gas guzzling vehicle, andpeddle to your destination. Obviously it isn't always practical, but think of the times when you could.

Our collective complaining about the price of gas doesn't seem to be helping. We will have to be proactive if we want to make a difference. Alternative fuel sources remain out of reach at the present time, so consider reaching for your bicycle instead. Two-wheel it to work, lunch, or shopping. Not only will you save gas, but it will also allow you to get in that work-out you've been putting off. You can burn around 500 calories per hour and do your part to keep the air clean, and save gas.

If you decide to give biking a try, always wear a helmet. Also, when bicycling on the road, the basic driving rules apply. That includes stopping for red lights.
