If you never drive at all, you'll never cause an accident, and your premiums are free money. Most people are somewhere in between. Anyway, a lot of policies go a step further, and classify how cars are used. Not using your car to commute probably makes it a pleasure vehicle instead of a work hours, and you might be able to reduce your monthly payments because of it. If so, that's a step away from basic, but it's also money you could be saving thanks to your bike.
Right on. It will be a while before the number of commutes will bring me down to that level but it would be good information to get from my insurance company.
