I’ve saved half the cost of my new bicycle by riding to work instead of taking the tube. In just two months! My ride is equivalent to an aerobic workout so if I factor in the cost of two aerobic classes per day at my local sports centre (£3 per one hour session) then I’ve actually saved the full cost of the bike. I’ve got the travel time down to between 50 and 60 minutes, which is exactly how long it takes to get to work if I use public transport. The worst bit of the journey is fighting the urge to have another breakfast when I arrive at my desk hungry after all that exercise (I’m usually strong enough but liquorice allsorts got the better of me last week).
