    It's amazing how much you can save by using a bike (or bus/bike with a free pass).

    If I use my car to commute to work it costs about £30 a week ($60) just on fuel alone. If I take a taxi to and from work £65 ($130) Just taking the bus would be £12.50 ($25). Using the bike £0
    There are a lot of unwanted, unloved bikes out there - go on give a bike a good home

    Sounds like a really great job with fantastic fringe benefits. More money for fun & bike clothes, etc.. or maybe a new bike.

    I've bought 3 new bikes and 1 used bike in the last year. I can't be buying any more!

    Now it's time for Ortlieb classic roll-top panniers, and a pannier/backpack converter, and another Brooks B67 saddle, and a few cases of Clif Bloks, and some more wool (mmmm, Surly wool jersey!), and some bright bike lights, and....

    But maybe I should pay my Visa off first? Naw....

    I haven't bought any new bikes lately, but I've been working through my wishlist, which is similar (rack trunk/panniers, lights) and have just come to the same conclusion: no more until the credit card is out of my life!!
