Okay, lets do some math.

1 month bus pass is $65 USD

Nice bike + commuting gear = $300 USD?

You save almost $500 the first year buy buying the bike. That bike paid for itself in a little under 5 months (even 6 if we say you'll need new tubes now and again), which at this point is letting you save the $780 every 12 months after the first 6 months.

You are still on board with holding off for the first 1.25 years before making a purchase?
