Did I see a story on the news this morning about Zip Car?
I might be able to give my car up once and for all if they come to Cincinnati.
I know many downtowners who rent cars on the weekend, Zip car might have a built in clientèle already.
I want to start riding to work also, I read somewhere that people who bike to work usually lose 10lbs.

Put your ego aside. There is NO shame in hopping off and walking your bike up the hills. You’ll get to take it slow, check out the architecture, say hi to people along the way, and arguably, its actually BETTER for you in terms of exercise.

Get on that bike, especially if your commute is low mileage anyhow. Its a great way to start and end your day.
