Switched to a bike for my 3 mile commute to save gas, but my car insurance went up $12 a month.

Man, that's wild. My buddy did the same thing last year, cut his driving way down. His insurance company actually told him he was now a "higher risk" because they think people who bike more might not be as sharp behind the wheel. His rate went up twenty bucks! How does saving them money make you riskier?

That sounds like a made up excuse to me.

Higher risk" my foot, that's INSANE. My cousin got the same line after he started taking the train. They said less practice driving means you're worse at it. Total scam logic.
