Gas topped $3.00 a gallon in Atlanta over the weekend which brought the usual news stories about people cutting back in order to fill their tanks. And yet still I see cars racing from stop light to stop light, driving far in excess of the speed limit, and being used for the shortest of trips.
Not one of the reports I saw mentioned bicycling as an alternative to driving. Let's see, I don't remember the last time I put gas in my car, I'm in great shape, and I don't have to pay for parking. Bicycling, good for my heart, good for my wallet, good for my city.
P.S. As gas prices have climbed I have noticed a slight increase in transit use which is a good thing.

I don't detect any changes in motorist behavior here, either. Even at the current price, gas is still cheap enough to waste, it seems.
