You are managing your money better by bicycling instead of driving.
According to a recent Atlanta news story that stated that the average total cost per mile of driving in this city is 65 cents, and also accounting for parking costs, my 30 mile round-trip bicycle commute saves about $22 each trip.
If I rode my bike to work only twice per week, I'd still save $2,288 per year, or $176 per month.
.
So true, it costs me 4.00 per day to go to school, for gas, 15 miles each way with gas around 2.50 per gallon. People ask how I could commute 30 miles a day to school and I say, well I want to afford to eat lunch today...
I get honked at all the time and get yelled at with the stupidest comments, get a job (I am working), get a car (I do not WANT a car), etc.
[thread jacking] A few weeks back some kids were jumping their BMX bikes all over campus and running away from the security officers in cars. We have some really nice big stairs and hills the BMXers like to play on around campus. I told the officers, I am on a bike I can get them and off I was. Well I caught all four of them by flying down stairs after them and chasing them almost 3 miles...
See who needs a car... And this same thing happens ALL the time...

I ride my bike because I like too... I have two cars and I ride them when I want... other times I ride...
Have a problem with that?! I did not think so... bye cars
