Giving up the car
It just seems to make sense to give up using the care as much as I do. By using my bike to take the chick to daycare, I save petrol, and get fit. I lose time, but hey, if I'm exercising, then I'm only gaining, right? Wait, that sound's wrong...So it is an investment up front (isn't everything?). Fixing my bike, buying the gear and getting a bike trailer. But my math says I'll have earned the investment back in 2 months with the savings in petrol.
So that means 1 hour cycling 3 days a week, x 9 = around $20.00 a week saved in petrol.
Plus a good chunk of calories burned too. If I can get nicer legs and a healthier heart, it is worth the double time interim!
I just need to work out entertainment for myself when the chick is not with me. Just need music, then I'm set.
So goal is to save 1000.00 this year in petrol and lose some weight.
I'm optimistic!
