Still getting oil changes at the dealer, eh?
I commute by bike because IT'S HEALTHY FOR YOU! It is currently my primary form of exercise. Sad, by true. It took quite a while before I got to the point where I looked forward to biking to work rather than finding an excuse to drive. I don't want to lose that, so I'm doing my best to continue commuting during the wet, CA winter. I'm doing pretty well with the 45º ride home.
Perhaps you should include the cost of a gym membership in your savings?
