This essay is part of a series on not owning a car.
>>>>>
for all those who ask me about this gas price thing. .. actually it's about the electric car.
As . .. whats the biggest draw back? ... You guessed it. .. Simply government regulations. ..
Gas is still way to cheep. ... and there needs to be a emmision tax. ... This car is possable..
But it wont happen until gas gets more expencive like cigerettes. .. before alternatives get used.
Ht news is that more of the US Congress is liking the idea of this emission cap and trade. ... i think the number is higher than ever. ... Lets keep on passing the word, of congres will wake up and smell the gas fumes.
I certainly can.

For me, on sunday out to that little town of Letterfrack, Connemera, Co. Galway. I think i'll stay there for a week, as i got lots of work todo as im going back on my route across canada, and slowely but surely posting the exact route i took accross canada, and showing the recommended route for other cyclest who want to cross canada.
...
One last note,
I'm looking for people who want to drive across canada with me. My plan is to get to Sparwood, BC and fill up the tank with bio diesel, and get lots to spare, and make are way through the rockies as we need togo along eithor side of the crowsnest pass up the cowboy trail into calgery and up to edmonton. .. and also from sparwood go back down and back to Cranbrook and head north, to the 1. .. and many areas i missed. .. I need to cycle it all:) ... As i want to track it all on GPS to create the awsome route.
... Since people will see the bike, and see the vehicle... the vehicle will be covered in signage as were raising funds for WWF Canada.
Looking for help and ideas!
Thanks,
Sam
