thats nothing! i rode from cleveland to here 2 weeks ago at 5am when it was 36 degrees, out. Thats with my skinny ass and mesh riding gloves, now that was cold!
the only way something of this nature could actually happen is if everyone boycotts a specific company.
Say we all stop buying exxon mobil throughout the entire country. We just keep going to other places for a period of time. Now that would be interesting to see what happens to prices then.
