∞ miles to the gallon
Friday Apr 07, 2006
With this switch to day light savings, it is officially bike to work season! While other Sun bloggers may not have a season per se, I have too many cell phone talking, makeup applying, bad driving drivers to contend with for a safe ride in the dark. I have enough trouble playing "frogger" in traffic during daylight hours.
My commute is ~18 miles one way from Santa Clara up to Menlo Park. Generally it will take about an hour, but it really depends on how many red lights I hit. While cycling takes no "gas", it does take a lot of fuel. On average, I probably consume an extra $2-$3 in food on bike commte days, but with a car commute cost of ~$15, I still end up saving money. Oh yeah, there is also that whole good for the environment thing.
