    , as I am originally from Norway I am used to high prices on Fuel. Ironic enough as our country is one of the world wealthiest nations who their total economy is based on oil production. I used to have a Ducati 62o Monster but after I was hit by a car and the driver took off leaving me in the street I got an injury that is healed now I sold it. In year 2000 I Lived in Brussels as an ex patch we relocated to London and the company had this option for us that was driving company cars to either have the car or get 500 £ extra a month in salary rise. Of course I did take the money. Bought a bike and did go almost every day on my bike from east side London to Soho and back unless it was raining too much. That saved me from our one hour less traveling time back and fourth to work, better fitted, better looking, more girls and so on. Since I never owned a car again and absolutely will not buy one again. The less you things have the less worries you get are my mantra. And again if it really should stop traffic and pollution raise the money on petrol except taxi and necessary transport to 8 US a Liter. Rush hour no driving in the city. Build public parking houses around nearby hubs to the city with free parking and free communication to the city. Then you would create a new vibrant city again, with walking streets, shops outside, new culture and stop people from visiting all those horrible shopping mall where you find all those brand retail shops that lobotomize your taste and make you look like everybody else. I think I have a lot to say about these things but the main thing here is to have respect for all living beings. I love this place and as I am quote new in the blog world please visit my blog as I try to write from a philosophically http://wp.me/p1keER-z5
