After 5 weeks of cycling the total amount of money saved is $93.33. That amounts to 13.33% of the cost of the bike, and 11.67% of the cost of bike plus accessories. It will take about 154 more trips at the price of gas last week. On Saturday we filled up in between our normal day and gas was up from $3.929 to $3.999. With today's trip that brings it down to about 150 more trips to pay off the bike.
On Friday's ride home I put in my fastest trip so far. I made it home in 30 minutes. That amounts to an average speed of 20 mph. I had to stop for one light and slow down for a couple more. I don't know what my top speed was, but it had to be pretty good.
I've now put in 500 miles riding to work. The air quality has been bad the whole time I've been riding. I really hope the air quality gets better so I can see what I feel like with good air in my lungs. I imagine my times will improve with good air quality. I'd also like to know how well I would do at a lower altitude; I'm sitting pretty close to a mile above sea level.
