20. Yes, but...

How do we or can we pay the price of conversion? In California where I live the sprawl into the suburbs is intensifing. People often commute 100 miles each way to work. My fear is that there will not be enough energy both in the fossil fuel sense or in human energy to make the conversion. In which case chaos will rule. In my case I am doing quite well with a motorized mountain bike that weighs 35 #, goes 30mph+ and gets 250+mpg. Not too good on rainy days but summers are long in SC. Bob
