I did get my butt kicked today ... 44x16 is not so easy on a 1km long hill to start the commute ... plus it requires a lot of turnover at speeds of 30kph+ the rest of the way ... so I like it very much for getting in shape.

6 mile ride with a nice little hill to get me going in the morning

1. What are the other car ownership costs that don't cost anything?

2. If you are looking for a workout on a bike with one speed any inexpensive cruiser should be just right, the heavier the better. Any Walmart or equivalent near you? Lots of garish colors too!
