lol I don't commute to save money, I commute because I love to ride my bike.

It is a great way for me to get in more exercise.

It takes me only about 15 longer to commute by bike then it does to drive, that includes my clean up time.

I don't really eat anymore then normal and tend to eat healthier choices when I exercise more. So more fruits and veggies.

Shop around online for good deals on things like tires and tubes. Auto parts store for your chain lube. I spent $60 total for a pair of schwalbe Marathon Plus tires, over 1500 miles on them and they still look like new.
