4. Good thing I don't drive.

5. I wish I didn't.

I didn't use to have a car - but you can't get anywhere here in Kansas City without one. Bus service is practically non existant in most parts of the metro area.

Too dangerous to ride a bike - we lose a biker about once a week.

And too dangerous to walk in my neighborhood.

So I drive and hate it.

Would like to get a little scooter - then I could be this funny little old lady just tootin along.

9. Is the cycling really that dangerous there?

I'm not trying to be snarky, just curious. In my area the media rarely provides details of cycling fatalities so it's difficult to judge. I know that a few of fatalities were the result of colossal stupidity on the part of a cyclist, ie, running a redlight on a busy four lane road where cars average 50 mph.

I did notice some lovely bike trails in Kansas City when I visited.

10. We have had three get killed in the last couple of weeks

They try to ride in heavy traffic and motorists can't see them.

One guy got smashed when a cement truck or something turned right right on top of him.

Another girl was killed in something kind of like that - can't remember the details.

And one guy just didn't stop and ran right into an intersection.

6. Good lord, that's practically free!

$2.73?? I'm SO jealous. Seriously.

I nearly caused a wreck by jumping across 2 lanes to get to a gas station that had it for $3.07. Most gas stations here are still around $3.30.

8. Don't know why midwest gas is cheaper but it is.

11. I think CA

has extra taxes on it, as well as different environmental regulations.
