If your town's economy goes to shambles by losing six car parking spaces, you've got serious issues.

    If you haven't done it since you were a kid and you have the means, buy a bike and use it to ride around if you can.

    It's INCREDIBLE what a freeing feeling it is zipping past cars stuck in traffic, going anywhere you like how you like, and fueling up by eating delicious food.

    True freedom

    When I was in college I got a bike to ride the couple miles to school to save money and all that. I made it two weeks before a car turned in front of me and I crashed over the handlebars onto the pavement. After that I just drove to school.

    I do think biking around the outdoors in trails is great, but never again will I ride around in the city.
