Everything was going okay for the first tenth of a mile. Then I
bruised my love handles with my knees when I reached down for the
drops. I decided cycling was too dangerous; now I just read this
group for the political arguments.

Thanks for asking.

I love it when Americans grumble about the high price of gas. Let's see,
regular gas in the Denver area is $1.70 - $1.90 per US gallon (~3.8 liters),
and in my corner of Colorado it's $1.80 -$2.00. Would any British readers
like to give us an update on the price of gas in their corner of the world?

A few weeks ago when I was in the Czech Republic, gasoline was about
$3.30/gal (22.5 korunas/L). It's probably higher now.

I was happy and amazed to see that many fuel stations in CZ also sell
biodiesel. It's comical to me that in the US, only a few researchers and
activists have even *experimented* with using biodiesel. In CZ, it's
already a commodity.

Laugh at Americans in their ridiculous gas-hogging SUV's. Go ahead and
laugh at them. They deserve ridicule.
