Many people these days use their cars to travel, even just a few blocks down the road from their home. Tons of gas is wasted which, in turn, pollutes the environment. Today’s new cars are a lot more fuel efficient and even some are hybrids, a cross between gas and electric, but there are other ways that can save significant amounts of gas and money. With the increasing price of gas and diesel, it is becoming more and more expensive to use a car or truck to travel any distance. Even if the trip to work is only 10 short minutes, driving and idle time at stop signs can really add up. A short distance such as that can be biked and save gas. Even though today’s new cars are becoming a lot more fuel efficient with hybrids that use both gas and electricity, and completely electric cars, most of these are way too expensive for people to afford, especially the people that really need to save money. This refers to people that can only afford a car in working shape, which guzzle fuel and pumps out tons of pollutants, they are the ones in desperate need of a bicycle for their transportation. In the book How to Live well without owning a Car, Balish states, “The bicycle is the most efficient mode of human transport ever devised. The only form of transportation that is cheaper is walking.” Therefore bicycling is, without a doubt, a less expensive and more efficient way as a means of travel.
