    So I saw on TV that one way to save gas was to take a bike when possible. I thought , OK, I'll try it. I hauled my mountain bike in the back of my truck for 2 weeks and didn't save ONE BIT of gas!!! DO NOT be fooled people!

    I had a temp job back in '07 that was only a few blocks away from the homestead.. I rode my Mongoose into work for the 2 months I was there.

    Wahhahahahahahahahahah! Actually if this economy gets any worse, I'm only going to afford to build a stretch frame, low seat, cruiser bike and paint it.

  7. I see they're advertising some new wonder additive that's supposed to "increase the percentage of gas burned in combustion" something like from 62% to 87%, I hear Savage doing a commercial for it, have to wonder what kind of BS this one is.

    I heard that joke at work and thought I'd pass it on. I did used to ride a bike quite often, just not much anymore. Although I still like to cruise the neghborhood in the evening on my '53 Schwinn!
