Gas prices are at an all-time high and people are looking for solutions. One way to cut back on gas is to start biking to work.

Bike shops around central Indiana are seeing a boom in business. Indy Cycle Specialist on East Washington has a sign that says, "Cure your petroleum addiction here."

Manager Scott Irons says they've seen a big jump in the number of people buying the so-called commuter bikes. Irons says those bikes are designed for getting to and from work.

Irons says a bike is also good for the environment - it cuts down on greenhouse gas emissions.
