What I've lost?
- Frankly incredibly little!
- Am I expected to go to the gym each day? Half my commute *is* gym time!
- I've paid a vanishing fraction of my car's maintenance as bike maintenance!
- Even if I'm "A fat-man on a freakishly heavy bike", it still costs less per mile!
What I've gained:
- An appreciation for the bit of world I travel through
- A loathing that so many others are forced to choose The Car
- A respect for Nature. Thunderstorms especially!
- A new sense of self. I know myself in a new and different way. Of how I move, of how I endure, of my limits
