How much do you spend?

There was an interesting article in the NY Times yesterday... It's important to have perspective, and I often forget that there are people who need their cars.

How much do you spend on transportation? Last year, I put approximately 2,000 miles on my car and over 8,000 miles on my bike(s). Despite the 4:1 mileage ratio, my bike related costs were less than the car related expenses (gas, general maintenance, registration, and insurance). Does that mean I should drive my car more? Nope, it means I should take better care of my bikes!

Ride safely and happy trails.
