@grammasaurus asks:

Q7a. Are rising gas prices helping any of your friends take cycling more seriously?

Q7b. Have you (or your bike group) discussed how cycling fits into emergency preparedness planning?

I feel some urgency about both of these issues.

@ascentale @grammasaurus @bikenite A7a. I don't have any friends 😞 but I, personally, am going to try to bike as much as possible this summer. Almost anywhere I need to go regularly is within 10 miles, which is nothing on an e-bike.

A7b. When the Big One hits Portland and gas stations go dry within a few days, we will rely on bikes and llamas to move people and goods around. And even if the power goes out, e-bikes can be charged with a portable solar panel and a camping battery.
