Strip in 4 panels. In the first 3 panels Yehudda, riding a bike, looks at fuel prices on different days, with the prices always getting higher. In the first two panels there is a person refueling, but not in the third. In the fourth panel a person (the same one who refueled?) on a bike he approaches Yeahuda and greets him. The strip implies that the rising price of fuels brings new people to choose the bike.

I remember the last time prices hit $5 + a gallon. I was on my bike because I was poor and a guy yelled out of his truck. I live in a VERY car-centric city.

I was like "here we go again".

He was like "Hell yeah F the gas companies". I wasn't trying to make a political statement, but people were being nicer on the road for a short time. And it was a surreal experience.

I also remember everyone getting small motorbikes for a time. People were really embracing small vehicles for a short time. Then prices went down drastically and no more small vehicles for a while.
