$2.95 per commute, I assume that includes the cost of the bike? My old car uses about $3 worth of fuel for each round trip car commute to the office and back. My bikes require a few pennies per commute, I would guess, just looking at maintenance costs. And my e-bike likely takes a nickel's worth of electricity to recharge the battery, for a round trip commute. I don't figure the bike cost into my calculations because I would have built the bike anyway, whether I was commuting or not.
