2. We need tens of thousands of those
As sad and as heartbreaking as that picture is...

They need to be on every gas pump in the nation.

4. That's right. Kill your car. Build your life around zero gasoline.
It seems impossible but it can be done. If you are close to retirement, and look forward to living on a fixed income it might be impossible to avoid.

Beat the rush. Enjoy the freedom of a bicycle.

7. "An arm and a leg". At first I thought that was a little "over the top".
