Everyone who owns a car knows that gas is pretty expensive these days. Most of us just grin and bear it but others try to find other ways to cut down on their gas bills. A huge success was the car-sharing company in which there are cars placed throughout the town that you can rent online at the time and place that you want. You can even pick what type of car (small, medium, truck, etc). This is nice because you only pay for the time you use the car to do your grocery shopping or what have you. However, here in Portland, another form of rentals is popping up; the bicycle. It’s a fantastic exercise and you can get around many amazing spots that a car just can’t get to…oh and the plus is the only energy you are expending is yours.
Portland is a great bike-friendly area too. The city has recently put in many of these “green boxes” (shown in the picture below) to help keep bicyclers safer and seen on the streets. Many people even ride their bikes to work getting in their exercise for the day.
So it’s up to you: drive a car everyday and hurt your pocket even more, share a car and use less gas, or rent a bike and get healthier while doing your daily activities.
