For a short part of my commute, this is the case. But much of my ride
is on rural roads, with not much traffic. BTW, studies have shown that
cars get more exposure to road fumes than bicycles, because the
bicycles aren't in the center of the road.

I can tell it's Psychic Wednesday.

Are we supposed to guess why four licensed drivers can't get the Honda
to start? :-)

One clue (oilfreeandhappy) tells me you should check the oil level
first. :-(

Stay safe, Jim.

In my family, we have one car for 4 licensed drivers. We brought up our
children cycling, and now that they're older (one is a Junior in
High School and the other is a Freshman in college), they have continued
the good habit. I commute by bicycle to work year round, regardless of
weather, unless the roads are treacherous. My commute is 8 miles.

Nowadays, if I lived in a large city with mass transit, I would combine
mass transit with a nice folding bicycle.
