Ride that bicycle 5 times in a month and you got your next strop without spending any extra cash. I ride my bike frequently to work during the warm hours of the year.... yeah, summers are kinda short in Canada... I'm kinda hoping summer will fall on a weekend this year so I get to enjoy it.

Barring insane traffic in your area, you'd probably find it doesn't take you all that much longer to get to work unless you normally drive at freeway speeds. There is the "freshness" issue sometimes, I work outside and I'll be soaking wet in the summer heat anyway so if I get a little damp riding to work, it's no big deal.

Just a thought....
