I hate this argument.

I try to commute to work on my bike whenever I can (about 9-10 miles each way). I love it because I like bike riding and also I like the fact that I'm saving money on gas (even if it isn't much, but it all adds up) and it's green. I have two cars that are REGISTERED and INSURED. When I drive it's usually my 1st-gen Honda Insight, and I gass up about every 6 weeks.

Not dissing you, Hatterasguy, but I just don't agree with your statement. There are many people who ride bikes and own a car, they just choose to ride. Riding a bike has minimal impact on road degradation compared to cars.
