Seeing as there seems to be a prevalence of push-bike related threads, i thought i should ask what peoples main form of transportation was... Vote away!

Equal amount of trips between bikes and cars, but the car does the long trips. Bike is great for a run to the Lager Mart (tm) or similar.

car.. why, because its effortless and theres nowt else thatll get me from 0-60 in 6 seconds on the ground.. oh and motorbikes scare the hell outta me

Depends where I am going tbh.  

2 Mile trip into town centre, Ill walk it in 25-30 mins

A trip to coventry/birmingham etc, Car or Local Transport

Car - mainly because I commute to work, a 110 mile round trip.

Car; because I can.

I have a bike that I occasionally use for short journeys but generally speaking I use my car because carrying anything on a bike is a PITA.

Youll prob not get 6 seconds out of the Calibra either, due to age

erm - youve missed public transport

short distances I walk - long distances Bus/tube

LOL 245bhp says otherwise

hey public transport isnt necessarily slow - fastest method of getting accross central london is generally the tube.

Bus is second fastest for a lot of routes  due to bus lanes - cycling is faster than the bus during rush hour but still slower than the tube & the car is the slowest of all except perhpas at 4am when there is less traffic

Who says?

If thats a book figure from when the cars new, ive got sour news for you.
With age, that will have deteriorated.  Also, RRs cant be trusted.

I would lay money that there is no more than 200/205hp or so from that engine.

The number of 300 bhp Renault 5s I have seen on our rollers that have been putting out 145-175, and the number of 500+hp jap cars that have been doing a little over manufacturers quoted figures is astounding.

I feel a pod trip coming on...

And if his car is putting out 205 BHP, then thats as close to the standard/new BHP as phuket is to swearing.

I have a pass for free use of the Metro and local busses supplied by all you taxpayers out there .

(gee, thanks!)

Otherwise it depends on where Im going and who Im with.
