Gas would have to go up to $15 a gallon, that's pretty much unaffordable levels to me.
(figuring at today's salary level, I know in time inflation will push gas this high, even if there are sufficient supplies in the future)
What about you, what's your break the bank amount for gas before you would bike to work every day? Is it something you do every day, or only when it's not raining or 20 degrees outside.
What about taking public transportation instead. For me I'd have to walk 4 miles to catch the bus, transfer to another bus to get to the local bus terminal. Take a shuttle, then walk about a 1/2 mile from where the shuttle drops me off. probably be a lot quicker to bike it.

I don't really think about biking to work, but if I did, I'm not sure that the price of gas would matter to me. If I live within biking distance from work, then of course I'd bike to save whatever gas I would. But even if gas was $7 a gallon, I think I'd try to move closer to my job before I decided to bike the distance.
