Actually I ride a bike to work. They park so much easier than a car. After numerous flat tires, I finally tested Kevlar tires. So far, so good. As for car tires, I expect to get 40,000 miles, thanks to Les Schwab, which should equate to about 10 years of driving (two vehicles). I don't worry about the price of a dry suit, but I don't want to experience material failure out in the middle of nowhere. Besides, the water out here is damn cold, and I ain't no harbor seal.
