This is a wwo (world without oil) alternate reality blog post. Feel free to check it out at http://worldwithoutoil.org/ otherwise simply read if you wish:

Since the first spike in gas prices my family and friends began driving less and less. They as well as I have looked aside to alternate forms of transportation. For instance mass transit, bicycles, and electric vehicles such as the segway. Towards the beginning of the spike I continued riding my 650cc motorcycle which gets 54mpg city and 60hwy but as the prices continue to skyrocket I must rfrain from this as well.
