Swinging_Jarnbjorn Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 This past Saturday, Mrs. JoeBlend and I got rid of our second vehicle - my car. I've been saying for a while now that I wanted to ride my bicycle more, namely to work and home, but our area is windy, which provides a ready excuse, but as of Cinco de Mayo, I'm riding. I'm actually pretty stoked about this. My whole weight loss journey started on a bike, so I'm feeling pretty good about this. Also, I've lost 49 pounds since this started. woot!

Nobody's ever gone the distance with Creed, and if I can go that distance, you see, and that bell rings and I'm still standin', I'm gonna know for the first time in my life, see, that I weren't just another bum from the neighborhood.

bgvanbur Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 When my wife and I met we both already owned cars. About a year and a half into our relationship we decided to sell both our cars and buy a new vehicle. We saved around 30% to 40% between car loan payments and cheaper insurance. At the time I could walk/bike to work so it wasn't a problem. Now my work is too far away to walk/bike, but I now work from home about three days a week so we just schedule the days I take the car to work (and on the occasional busy week my wife will drive me to work so she can use the car).The savings is definitely worth the occasional inconvenience. And for you, the fitness is an added bonus. Level 26, Primal Ultra Trail Scout, Non-Binary Robot Link to comment
