Fringe benifits.

Apparently there's another benifit to cycling to work. One which keeps the miser in me just as content as my inner eco freak.
I don't have to pay this anymore.


And combined with the petrol price it shapes up to a neat, $12.

To work and back by car.
Toll Pennant hills - abbot rd : 2.20 * 2
Toll abbot rd - old winsor : 0.56 * 2
Distance 20 km each way
Petrol price - 1.51 (Expensive Thursday)
Petrol Consumption - 10L/100km
Time 25 - 45mins
Total - $11.56
+ Gym Membership - $16 (Month)

To work and back by bike.
Toll - $0
Distance 25 km each way (Not so many choices as by car)
Petrol price - 55cents (1 Bananna Extra)
Gym Membership - Nada, Nill, Nichts.
Time 1h 5mins - 1h 10 mins.
Total - Bugger All, and a free workout to boot!

AND BEST OF ALL - because it's all bike paths and back streets
I DON'T HAVE TO PUT UP WITH ALL THE DICKS IN CARS ON THE ROADS!!
Of course the money that's saved all goes into the kitty for our next brew of beer! Which after all that excercise, can be drunk without guilt!
