Planning for peak oil

Are you a "peak oil" believer? Many bicyclists expect only decreasing supplies of oil lie ahead of us. A blogger known as Gail the Actuary shares a list of how to prepare for a future of petroleum scarcity. Some of her tips:
Buy a bicycle that you can use as alternate transportation, if the need arises.
Start walking or jogging for exercise. Get yourself in good enough physical condition that you could walk a few miles if you needed to.
Take care of your physical health. If you need dental work or new glasses, get them. Don't put off immunizations and other preventive medicine. These may be more difficult to get, or more expensive, later.
Move to a walkable neighborhood. If it seems likely that you will be able to keep your job, move closer to your job.
