NY Times: For the Hard Core, Two Wheels Beat Four
Even The New York Times has picked up on the commuting by bike trend taking place:
Once limited to dense urban environments, bike commuting has found a small but devoted following in the New York City suburbs. While there have been no formal studies of the trend, transportation experts and cycling advocates say the number of suburban bike commuters is growing.
…
While some cite the environment and rising gasoline prices as reasons to bike, most suburban cycling commuters say they do it more to get outdoors, to get moving and to make the daily commute a little more enjoyable.
One of those interviewed said he’s saving about $400 a month in gas and parking costs. That’s incredible. In addition, it seemed that many of the riders were riding more than 10 miles to get to work each day-that defeats the 3-mile max that seems to be the limit for most of us in Southern California.
