why high gas prices are good



i want to be president because i believe these high gas prices are good for our country. i believe they are forcing a very necessary change, not only for our environment but for our health and for our society's feeling of isolation. 
as i see more and more people riding their bikes around i know the high gas prices can change our american society. what is wrong with riding our bikes, or walking and getting a little exercise, being able to actually say hi to people as we get to work, or the store? 
here is a blog that is really inspiring about bike riding. there is much to be learned from society's that are set up to not be dependent on oil, and that promote health and environmental awareness. plus, look how sexy everyone looks on their bikes! i saw this a lot when we were in europe and i can tell you, from riding our bikes everywhere i was never in better shape, and i talked to people more, i found much more peace in riding than driving my car and, i learned it is possible to get your dry cleaning or go to the post office, or get groceries for several days on your bike! 
no excuses america! 

isn't this bike gorgeous?! you can find it here

great post ms. president! (ha)

love the bike...i so wish more cities/towns in the US were this bike-friendly! perhaps most americans think it's "uncool" to ride a bike, and that they are "cooler" in their "fancy" cars with their stereos blaring!
