It's very telling that people regularly start with the cost of a new bike when figuring the cost of commuting by bike, but just assume that you already own a car when calculating the comparison cost. If I figured the cost of commuting by car starting with the $12000 I spent on my car, everyone would say I was cheating. If I threw in interest payments over five years, they'd really say I was cheating.
