$$ bike repairs, but still cheaper

[hebe]

Eh. I can hardly compare gas prices vs savings by riding a bike. When I bike commute to work, I eat the equivalent of what the gas would cost because I show up starving.

I know that I always wade into any thread mentionning fuel prices, but on current costs in my town my next small tank (55litres) will cost me about $130. I've just checked the conversion twice. I'm cycling/walking/taking the bus a lot more now, especially as it just cost over $800 to get the car insured, serviced and MOT'd (compulsory test of road-worthiness) for another 12 months. Compare that to the $48 I spent on Tuesday to have one bike serviced and another one repaired, both at my home. Eating a bit more after biking/walking is easily accomodated within savings on gas.
