I decided to keep my 1998 F-150 and start bicycle commuting to work.

So far this year, I’ve logged around 1500 miles, saved at least $400 in gas money, cleaned the air, and lost a little weight. I figure I’ve done my part by keeping a vehicle out of the landfill and not *consuming* more by buying a new vehicle.
