where can i find sources about the pros of riding a bike vs driving a car?
(i did a yahoo search but i still couldn't find concrete information)



Answer
First off gas is much cheaper, less money on maintenance, no insurance, no license needed. For short distances its almost just as fast to hop on a bike than to drive, especially in heavy traffic and its good for your health.

I average 15 miles an hour on a bike, thats about 5 min a mile.
