Invest in a bike. Getting places is so much easier (weave in and around traffic, disobey road rules). It saves you money as you don't have to spend it on fuel and parking tickets. It will get you fitter, help your general well being and will help with losing weight. It can also allow you to drink alcohol at places as you have a mode of transport home. Trust me, drunk ride homes are a breeze.
Any bike will do - A road bike will probably help the most. You can normally pick these up quite cheap second hand. Give them a quick wash and maybe new rims, tyres and tubes. Then it's good to go.
Pro-tip: A 10k ride will take roughly half an hour!
Riding a bike really is great. Except where I live, cars own the road, and hate sharing it with cyclists. It's very unfortunate.
ReplyDeleteI'm moving to Chicago is a couple of weeks and we're buying a few bikes...We sold our cars!

ReplyDeleteI stand by the bicycle! Unfortunately I work 15 miles away, and while I could ride it, I'd rather not be dripping with sweat when I walk through the door.
ReplyDeleteLife hacks are great. I wish i could follow this one but with my area being really hilly i can't. Followed.
