Costs of Owning Your Very Own Bike

Although its not always the most convenient at times, biking everywhere would save anyone plenty of money within a short amount of time, and pay for itself within weeks. A article posted onto Family Bicycles website gives a comparison between the costs of owning a car and owning a bike.
First off, the average quality bike costs below a thousand dollars, but cars can be ten times as expensive. With bikes, you dont have to pay for anything else besides the rare upkeep, no need for insurance or gas or expensive routine smog checks and maintaining. If you have the means to bike everywhere, I would strongly recommend switching from driving to biking. Not only is it significantly cheaper, its also leaves a green carbon footprint.
