Looking for work and moving to a new city tends to do things like taking priority over blogging...<BR/><BR/>I hope to be back to updating the blog soon. Living right downtown in the city (Seattle) will help us to do more by foot, rather than by car.<BR/><BR/>MarkMark Kirschnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08643553208624565187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5843688607135360107.post-22289453699383735602008-11-12T07:48:00.000-08:002008-11-12T07:48:00.000-08:00Short answer:HERE'S THE MATH - A gallon of gasolin...Short answer:<BR/>HERE'S THE MATH - A gallon of gasoline contains about 34,000 calories - which can fuel a car for 20-40 miles, depending on your MPG - not bad.<BR/><BR/>A bicyclist burns about 600 calories per hour when riding at 16 miles per hour - that's a pretty casual pace. At 600 calories per hour, that bicyclist could ride for 56 hours on those 34,000 calories - and at that speed, would cover about 900 miles. Thus, 900 miles per gallon.<BR/><BR/>I know, it's not quite apples-to-apples, but it's just about energy efficiency. <BR/><BR/>A little more info:<BR/>http://900mpg.org/about.phpAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5843688607135360107.post-72248757335096587122008-11-11T17:23:00.001-08:002008-11-11T17:23:00.001-08:00Cool stuff Kathleen.

I set out to see if I could live without a car (I'm also in the rainy Northwest).... my goal was to sell my car if I could "survive" without it for 2 months.... EASY! I sold my car after 30 days, and haven't looked back. Since then I've had many challenges along the way: Rain, dentist visits, groceries - they have all proven easily surmountable. I think the biggest hurdles are in our heads. In fact, I know it.<BR/><BR/>Here's my own project: www.900mpg.org<BR/><BR/>Per calorie of energy input a bicyclist gets 900mpg, compared to cars, thus the name.<BR/><BR/>Great blog, Kathleen!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
