I am aware of the higher gasoline prices. The only reason I have a car right now is for taking Velomobiles long distances to conventions. I do not like cars at all and do not plan to have one in the Netherlands. For what would I need it when I can cycle instead in my new Bülk Distance or my 4More? There is also the bus and train. I would never own a big American pickup. I hate them. I am perfectly happy to cycle a long distance on the nice bike paths and roads in the Netherlands. With no hills this is not so difficult, and in Zeeland there are not 10 stop signs and 10 stop lights in each direction like my current 15km commute, and no 9% gradient hills either.
