Cost per Mile of Biking

[AJsinVA]

Great point Tim. Additionally for myself; I save about $8 a day in gas commuting by bike. I get to work with a lot more energy (believe it or not) and I get a huge laugh every morning when I zip over 66 and look down on the parking lot they call a highway.

In our household budget I have a column called Metro/Bike. That column gets enough money to pay for a month’s worth of commuting to work by Metro: $110.50 ($5.10/day). But I rarely ride Metro to work. So most of the expenses out of that column go towards bike costs like equipment, wardrobe, tools, shop maintenance. After expenses I have a surplus every month and after 5 years the balance is large enough to buy a new commuter bike.

I am glad I am not the only one who has a real budget with different buckets of money. People call me anal…I call it cash in the bank for very little effort.
