I've ridden my bicycle about 280 miles since finishing school almost exactly one month ago. 220 miles of that is specifically commuting to work everyday.

280 miles on my bike:
$38 total (13.5 cents/mile)

That same 280 miles if I would've been driving the Tempo:
$50 for insurance, $50 for maintenance/repairs/parking, and $47 in fuel (assuming 30-mpg) = $147 total (52.5 cents/mile)

My commute to/from work is 330mi weekly. Now that Summer is upon us, I can count on an additional 100mi per weekend.

2100 to 2300 miles per month.

Justifies a lot of modding.

60 miles a day every day... I rarely see a day that i don't put on 60 miles.. part of rural life i guess.. if its not for work its for shopping or seeing the family or some other task that cant be avoided..

Last month we (me and the wife) put roughly 3700 miles on the Matrix and about 500 miles on the Paseo. This is why I carpool as much as possible.

If I didn't carpool the Paseo would have at least 1500 miles per month. So, I'm saving 1000 miles a month at 50 mpg... is 20 gallons of gas or roughly $80.

Under 300/mo.

Work is 3.2 miles away from home. I am quite fortunate.

I'm around 1000 a month. Used to be 2000 before I moved in February. Once the weather starts cooperating and I find a convenient place to put my bikes I can cut out some more local driving.
