I don't see how riding a bike to work actually saves money. You have to factor time into the equation.
, that's an extra 60 mins every day for the trip alone. So that's 1.5 hrs more time invested in traveling every day. Over a year, that's 550 hours per year, or $5500 lost if you're making $10/hr.
Even in your exaggerated scenario, it's a wash on time if the person goes out after they get home and puts in an hour of cardio.
