And the funny thing is, people complain about their job while getting paid a wonderful salary to get through the month, in a nice car, with a nice house/apartment. While there are starving families in other countries just dying to get a job and earn money for the family. Even with the job, its barely enough to feed the family and survive. Oh yeah, walking around in best buy for $10 hourly helping people in a nice and air conditioned(and heated in winter) building sucks ass.......yyyyup......
Its absulotely sad to see people going like 20 MILES?!?! When i say i bike to work. Fuck, its absolutely embarrising to live with this generation of people. For christ sake, back then, people had no cars, they WALKED, or actually did something to get to work. I told my friend to go to target to get cups for the party while i get the car from the car repair place (target was ONLY 5 BLOCKS AWAY, I HAD TO WALK 20) and he was like "WHAT?! dude hell no, just get it while your in the car" UNBELIEVABLE
Well, the target is 40% by 2015 if my memory serves me well. And I think we are at 37-39% or so by now, but I'm not certain. Last official number was 34.5% I think, and that was a couple of years ago.
Not absolutely sure if it's the right mindset, but it sure makes driving a car less crowded with so many bicycles. :)
female newscasters keep looking more and more like models and i keep seeing less and less male newscasters is this a combo of the quota system meets sex sells? lol
The good thing about this is that most drivers are either to scared, to proud or dont know how to make a system that will work for them. If these obstacles are ever over come the cycling to work craze will saturated as the roads as the cars do today.
He's probably going through 1,500 calories on that 40 mile bike ride. By the time you add in the extra food, storage, and gym membership fees, I doubt he's saving much. Good for him though -- he's doing something he loves.
@Servo888 If you figure he is spending about $50 a month for a gym membership, and $75-$100 for storage, he is still saving a substantial amount of money (considering he WAS spending over $300 a month, per the video, before he took up bike riding!). I will be happy to pocket $150 to $175 in savings any time!
Also consider this: he has lost weight, healthier than ever. He will save on future costs to the doctor, medicine because of his healthy lifestyle!
I've bike commuted now for almost 5 years. There is NO way I'll go back.. My health is more important to me than what others think.. I ride in ~-30f, 100f+, thunderstorms, trageted by motorist and police.. The worst days (to others) are the best days.. And I love the way women look at my back side! : )
I used to ride 44 miles to work they thought i was crazy it took me 5 hrs, I didn't shower when i got to work I used baby powder. People would ask me why I smelled like baby powder? I'd grab my crotch and say jock itch. Now I ride 22 miles and don't break a sweat.

fourty miles on a rode bike? Ha, 100 miles on my loaded touring bike, with 100lbs of gear, food and supplies is a different story.

there would be days he would need to pack his clothes and everything to the gym. i would think he would need to bring a few items.

Biking is excellent. If you're too lazy to bike (or can't for other reasons), try out public transportation.

so he doesn't pay $200 for the train but pays for the storage and gym fees in Manhattan? How is that saving money?
