    Biking definitely does less damage and causes less pollution than driving, 100%. It is not a feasible option for everyone though. What drivers can do is try to drive more fuel efficient cars, instead of gas guzzlers.

    I wish I could ride a bike to work, but with a commute of 66 miles each way to work, not an option. And while the grocery store is only a mile away from the house, feeding a family of six (or seven, when my son's girlfriend eats with us) requires the ability to tote far more grocery bags than would be feasible either walking or bike riding.
