CNN gets the scoop from League President Andy Clarke and Jacob Wolf Barnett from Revolution Cycles about how more people are responding to high gas prices by hopping on their bikes.

Did you catch that reference to our bike commuter data analysis?

   Gas is still cheap in the US compared to most of the Western World. Of course, Americans are spoiled rotten and four bucks a gallon sticks in their throat. Sigh.

   Good to hear but the “bike lane” shown in the video is also the door zone. Built by a motorist no doubt.

   I’m riding my bike to work every day now and I have joined the Get Up & Ride National Bike Challenge, which begins May 1. You can join the bike challenge here: http://www.endomondo.com/campaign/national/
