In my travels I found myself in Watertown, NY this last weekend and saw this sign at a Stewart’s Gas Station/Mini Mart. (I took the picture Saturday June 21, 2008 in Watertown, NY at a Stewart’s on Washington Street. Sorry it isn’t a little clearer, I took it with my cell phone.)I thought it did a great job explaining gas prices to the American Consumer. It clearly illustrates why we pay what we pay for a gallon of gas at least for those in the State of New York.
Personally I think we can all save a lot by riding our bikes where and when we can. After all a bike can improve our health, reduce our pollution and save us all money. It is a great solution to many issues that face us today.
Then again I am a little bias on the whole thing aren’t I?
About Ernest
Ernest is the owner of the Crofton Bike Doctor located in the Village of Waugh Chapel Shopping Center. Ernest has been in the industry since 1989 when he first started to work at the Bike Doctor of Arnold. During that time I developed a love for cycling and retail. I graduated from the University of Maryland and live and ride locally.
I enjoy riding off road and on the road as well as doing a little bike touring. As a teenager I did a trip in Maine and then over to Novia Scotia which helped cement my love for riding. Since then I have done tours in the Canyons of Utah as well as several trips along the C&O Canal. Today I have both mountain bikes and road bikes that I enjoy riding. One of the most exciting things now is my wife is beginning to develop a passion for riding and we have begun mountain bike together as well as some light road riding.
