I looked back to last year (2008) not this past year (2009) and think of the difference in the price of fuel. Two summers ago, anti acids wouldn't helped the roiling of my stomach as I looked at a $15 charge for my bike, which used to be what it cost for my cage (car). I remember when I first started riding road bikes, I was almost embarrassed to walk into a store and handing over loose change after filling my machine. Before charge cards, debit cards, ebt, and the likes. Now my finance charge is higher than way back when. Although the start of a new year brings prices under the $3 mark and makes it easier to ride, I think we all are feeling the pinch at the pump. I will ride when possible, where possible, and as far as possible. But the prices are still enough to give you gas pains.
See you on the Road!
