I enjoy biking but I don't think it's as cheap as some of you make it out to be.
Ive been making that argument for a while. I have more tied up in bikes then I paid for BOTH my cars (86 4cyl 4Runner and a 96 Previa) and the cars have tires that go 50,000 miles a set. LOL
I sold my Suburban a couple years back. 40gallon tank and a 454 under the hood, It was painful to fill. I saw it rattle past $100 a couple times. It was way over kill for our needs (Light weight Airstream camper and I sold the 4x4 I pulled with it). Thankfully 7 years ago I changed positions with my company and took a job 4.3 miles from home. That was a HUGE savings over the 44 mile round trip I had been making. 1.5 years ago my office moved...I'm pissed! It moved 2 miles closer and I lost a lot of my exercise
