@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.

A7.
A lot of my online social group are already very pro-bicycle.
Personally, I mostly only drive when I have to, like to go to the city or a neighbouring town. If the snow ever ends I'll be able to ride more in the village and out to the C-store (~2km), that I'm driving on battery right now while it's still cold (I drive a PHEV).
Because I'm so remote here, I'm not sure how wise/safe relying on my bike in an emergency is.
