Okay, not bad, as i Know some who commute 100 miles to work but nonetheless. . .it's an easy drive. It takes 40 minutes by day and 35 minutes at night to make the commute.
It's through the backwoods of S. Jersey (pine barrens) so for the most part, it's an easy drive.
I feel like often I could motorcycle the distance (weather permitting) but the cost of medical bills outweighs the benefits of fuel savings.
Is motorized tricycling an alternative? Is it any safer? Or is it just for old women who want to pedal around a retirement village with a basket of flowers? 
Any cyclers out there? |
I bought a Honda Rebel 250 last april and rode it till aug., then upgraded to a suzuki 800 that I am selling now. If I had my rathers,I would have stayed with the honda for the gas mileage(75) instead of the suzuki(43). It depends on the speed you intend to travel.
I believe the economy and gas prices are going to lead many to live close to their jobs. I would, but for now I'm married to a financial moron. One of these days, I will have to force the move on her, as usual.
