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
