Yes, it does get cold, but yes, people, especially including this republican congressman, need to get out of their cars and walk and interact and get some exercise much more often.

The USA reduced gasoline consumption by 10% over last year's useage. This is driving gasoline prices down. This reduction in gasoline useage is a result of conservation (like bicycling and walking) and not by drilling for new oil. Apparently, the Republicans who sponsored the adverisement fail to realize that those are real people who are riding bicycles - real people who vote.

People will complain, but I think they will also find themselves feeling a bit happier and healthier.

No more wacky then driving a car to the nearest 7-11 perhaps 2 blocks away for a quart of milk... that's what many Americans do now. Wacky for walking or biking eh?
