Bicyling does pay off

Let's just say I am happy I had the camara that day:>

I just renewed my pledge to bike to work with the New Belgium Brewing company. Apparently by biking to work I have managed around 200 miles a month on my bike. Which according to their site saves 200lbs of CO2 emissions, $40 dollars in gas, and uses 56,000 calories or 186 beers worth of energy. While I am pretty sure the first two numbers are monthly (I have saved way over $240 dollars in gas in the 6 years I have been without a car), I have an incling that the last figure is per year (I think I burn something like 60 calories a mile on my bike.)
Of course, this is assuming I still have a car and wouldn't be saving by not having the other expenses associated with a car such as insurance car payments and maintenance costs. Which is probably why I was able to pay off my loans rather than accrue more in grad school.
So, what are you waiting for! Make your pledge! Biking to work relieves stress, tones your tummy, reduces your carbon footprint, reduces the amount you spend and saves time by allowing you to get a workout while you commute.
Hmm, maybe I should pedal harder and think less while I am riding.
