One more thought. It's very difficult, if not impossible, to survive on minimum wage. Never mind cycling - you'll be lucky if you have a roof over your head and food to eat. Minimum wage jobs serve a purpose in our society, but they are meant for people who are not the primary breadwinners in their household, such as teenagers living at home, or people with other sources of income, such as retirees. Basically, I just don't think the plan of making a living while flipping burgers is a viable option.
