With gas prices skyrocketing and CO2 emissions warming the earth have you started to think twice about driving your 20 mpg car to work? I have.
My boss just bought a 150cc motor scooter on ebay (brand new) for $599. It gets 100 mpg and goes 60 mph.
This comment came in on a recent posting:
"To go along with the exercise portion of this posting I would like to encourage everyone to consider an alternate form of transportation to get to work...biking. I used to think it was too far, would take too long, etc, etc, and this is when I lived within a mile or two of work. I now live 7.5 miles from work, bike most days and I love it. It works out conveniently to have an exercise facility 200 yards from my office to clean up. As for the too far, too long, it takes me 30 minutes to ride in to work as opposed to 15 minutes to drive.
Benefits: great excercise, 1 gallon of gas per day (around $600 per year at current prices), a good wakerupper in the morning.
Costs: 15 minutes."
When I go back to work in the fall, I plan to do my best to spend less on gas and get exercise as part of the deal.
TBL: How could you reduce your gas expenditure and increase your fitness?
