why dont you guys use public transportation system then? you dont have to worry about wheels, dents, broken windows :-) I ride a bike to get to work on summer and public on winter, so far so good :-) well, I only have to go a mile or 1,5 but lot of people still use a car for such a short distance... I hate to drive a car so short, it doesnt even heat up properly (M3 takes at least 15min of driving to warm oil)...
bad idea? .-)

I do take the subway to work 99 percent of the time. But I still have to drive on city streets because that's where I live.
