Ride Sharing Programs/Rentals:
Enterprise (our relationship started in 1998 and still going strong)
ZipCar (our relationship began in DC, still going strong, and I like testing the new vehicles, such as the Toyota Prius<<<[my favorite], Mazdas, Scion, and BMWs).


Current Transportation:
My first custom made $500 to $1000 bike from a bike shop.  I never thought I would pay that amount for a bike, but they had bikes that went up to $2500 or $4000.  I said, "Wow".  It is a different culture.  In less than a year, it is stolen in City of Chicago with locks and cables.


Future Transportation:
Bikes, Motorbikes (his dream was the Suzuki Hayabusa, but I will start small first), and Scooters for the next period of ten (10) years.  Human energy of running and walking still exists.
