First define your transportation needs. How many miles per year are solo commuting, carrying cargo, or other people? Compare average annual costs of operation over the life of the vehicle. Include the value of your time as a cost of convenience. This way you can get a comparison based on cost per mile. Up to 25 miles a streamlined mountain bike may best if you can maintain 20 mph. Renting a small truck such as a Ford Ranger or a van may be needed a few times a year.
