Not to mention, it might be tricky getting to the store with the wee little ones :-)! I wish I could bike more, but with a family of six, can you imagine how many grocery bags I would have :-) ?

Way to save. More exercise, just what I like to hear:) I’m glad the “pinch” has helped you become more active, that’s awesome!!! Way to save.

Very useful, when you don't have enough for a backpack. I bike in regular shorts and t-shirt--saving the bike shorts for the road rides...

It gets broken on occasion such as the time the guinea pig was picked up from a babysitting neighbor 3 blocks away (with large cage). And yes, includes grocery shopping. There is a major market at 1 mile away and if the trip is separate from other errands, it's a brisk walk/bike away, complete with helmet. And no, I don't feel or look stupid in the gear. Of course not. Of course, I am shameless! ‘Walk or bike to ANYTHING within a mile’ is the PCJ motto.

It really does save a lot money in the long run. I used to take the bike almost every time until I moved to a place that was too hot and the distances too far.

Way to reduce your carbon footprint and your out-of-pocket expenses in one shot. The idea of biking in my city scares the crap out of me (really bad motorists) but there is a walking path that goes to the heart of downtown. Last summer I took one evening and hoofed it to the library. It reminded me that a) I was out of shape and b) it can be done with the right mindset. :) Good for you!
