a few years back i biked 11 miles to work each way in the winter. it was
a lot of fun. as for the cost of biking fuel i say eat pasta or rice :).
that aside the cost of fuel at the pump is not the "true" cost of fuel :(.

I do a LOT of biking. Mountain (for enjoyment) and road (for
exercise/training). I ride to work at least 50% of the time in the
Spring - Fall. I *know* I eat way more $$$ in food than I would have
spent in fuel to drive the same distance.
Either way...carpooling is a great idea. In many places, public
transportation is simply outstanding! And many mopeds are getting over
100 mpg. At $2/gallon, clearly gas is cheap.
But you won't find me on a bike or a moped in the winter. There's no
better car for me than the quattro for the snow/ice covered roads.
