To me, it is interesting how the quantity of dumb comments has decreased in the past few years. Not sure if it is related to the price of fuel increase, or people are just used to me being a dumb bike commuter.

I will say that doing this for 25 years has saved a TON of $$, about 50,000 miles worth of driving. I estimated my cost of biking at around $5000 for 25 years, as I am a one bike at a time kind of person. I figure I have been about break even in what I would have spent on gas in those 25 years, but have saved on cars, maintenance and extra trips I would have done if I had driven. Other than gas, I wonder how much I saved riding 2,000 miles a year for 25 years?
