How long till a new bike pays itself off?
So - I'm so dreaming of one of these:
but the finances just won't permit the luxury. I give my wife grief about spending all the money - and then think about a $1000 bike, a $300 ipod, camera, guitar, computer ... She might spend more money, but what I want comes in bigger chunks.
So with gas at $2.50 a gallon - I'm trying to build a case for the new bike. My trip is about 5 miles, and when I drive - I usually come home for lunch. So that is about 20 miles a day. My old truck is pretty efficient, so we'll call that one gallon.
Why the long face...
That means I'll have to ride to work 400 days to save the gas money to buy the new bike. At most I can ride 4 times a week. So that means 2 years!
Well its a project.
