Oh oh! It looks like gas prices are increasing again. At this 76 gas station on California Street yesterday, a gallon of regular was going for a cool $4.39/gallon. What's more, according to USA Today, "GasBuddy has San Francisco now as the most expensive city for gas in the country at an average of $3.93 a gallon, followed by 15 other cities in California."

What does this mean for you, motorists? Well, you could start riding a bike, for starters. For those of you who fear the advance-level cyclingness that one might find, say, at a bike shop on Valencia Street, might we recommend the pretty bikes found at Public Bikes in South Park? All of their bikes are "unisex, lightweight, steel frames designed for city streets." And they're so cute! Damn cute, in fact. Just look at them.

Public Bikes allows you to test drive them from 1am-6pm Monday through Friday (closed Tuesdays) and noon-4pm on Saturdays. Schedule an appointment today.

And if skyrocketing gas prices didn't make you sick enough, get this: BP Oil is now ready to start deep sea drilling again. If you recall, the oil mammoth more or less destroyed the Gulf of Mexico, among other areas, after creating an oil spill that resulted in the largest ever man-made environmental disaster in United States' history.
