I’ve been biking to work every day since I took my new job in June. Some numbers:

• Miles ridden to work: 1100
• Gallons of fuel saved: 30
• Fuel and parking costs saved: $640
• Pounds of raw soy bean plants saved because I’m not driving my Biodiesel car: 2280
• Calories burned while commuting: 53,900
• Number of Quarter Pounder w/ Cheeses I could eat to recover those calories: 108
