Abby, you can do a lot with pretty inexpensive bikes, for example, second hand bikes. Plus you don't just have to work with the one-time cash you get from selling the truck, I assume you will also have ongoing savings on insurance and maintenance and gas, and in the money you might eventually have had to save and pay towards your next truck. We often discuss the economic benefits of biking here, and there is a pretty strong case that the biggest benefits accrue to people who manage to own one less motor vehicle thanks to biking, because of the ongoing savings. And then, of course, there is also the virtual cash value of all the healthy exercise and relief of stress you get by switching from driving to biking.
