I barely drive at all anymore, love my bike! That might change come winter, but for now I ride waaay more than I drive and have saved a ton on gas. Plus, it's way more fun than driving.

I put about 450 miles on my bike in the last couple of months and maybe 20 on my car. A lot of that isn't even out of necessity, I'm just riding for fun and exploring. Sometimes it's even faster than driving because I don't have to worry about using roads.
