As Bike To Work Week kicks off, a quick price comparison at the Iowa City Waterfront Hy-Vee shows that fuel for bikers is cheaper than fuel for cars:
Unleaded: $3.299 a gallon
Hy-Vee Brand 2% Milk: $2.99 a gallon
The cars still have the edge for higher-end fuel:
Super Unleaded: $3.19 a gallon (that's the ethanol kind)
Hy-Vee Brand Orange Juice: $3.98 a gallon
No stats on miles per gallon.
Bicyclists of Iowa City was giving free fuel to bike commuters (try that, Texaco) at College Green Park this morning. In an exercise in participatory journalism, I found the pancakes quite tasty. If you missed out, there's more free flapjacks tomorrow from 7 to 9 AM at Coralville New Pioneer Co-op.
