However I only bike commute 2 days a week but it has motivated me to catch a train 2 days a week as well which costs about $7 return so I save $24 those days. I would never have caught the train if I didn't start bike commuting. Parking costs rise $2 every 4-6 weeks in Brisbane and have done so for the last 8 months.
