I’m slowly but surely transitioning from driving to cycling to the point I’m going to have to change jobs to stop driving all together. While this surely has many health and environmental benefits, I was wondering about the financial benefits. Those of you who have already made the transition, how much have you save by not driving?

    Also keeps your health up for longer to use a bike! If you’ve got health insurance then that probably matters even more.

      Oh yeah, there are so many other cost savings that I didn’t even include. If I wasn’t cycling, I’d for sure have to either get a gym membership or invest in stuff to keep in shape. Not that I don’t do other things to keep fit (i.e. upper body), but I can get cardio and aerobic exercise without even setting aside extra time!
