Change For A Nickel

This Summer I hung up the keys to my car and put my bus pass in the back of my wallet.  I started out with a simple goal which was to ride my bike to work in an effort to get in shape.  Though I didn’t gain any additional weight, I didn’t lose any either.    But shortly after I started riding I thought it would be a good idea to track my commuting pattern with a calendar.  Below are the vital statistics I from this Summer’s endeavors.

• Tracked dates from May 5th thru September 30th.
• Bicycled to work 69 times
• Round trip mileage 19
• Total miles to and from work 1311
• Took Public Transportation to work 18 times
• Drove to work 6 times
• Saved $276 by riding my bike to work this Summer instead of taking public transportation

Though I may not have lost 20 pounds, I did keep some green in my pocket while being very green!  I still plan to ride to work when the weather is good but for the most part I will probably be taking the bus more now that it is getting colder.
