Commuting in a World of $4 Gas

I've started riding my bike to work. It takes me right around 30 minutes to peddle my way to St. Louis Park, almost all of it on paths and avoiding riding in traffic.

This is the route I would normally drive to work:

This means that every time I ride my bike, I'm avoiding 18.4 miles of car travel. I'm hoping to track my progress on a new blog soon, but so far I've bike commuted 2 days, which means 36.8 miles of car commute avoided.

It's a start!

You should post some pictures of your new bike and tell us about riding to work!! I am sure its a gas saver and a much better commute than 394 :-D

How long does the commute take you? Is it comparable to your drive?

New bike? That sounds interesting...
