Biking for health and money

Most recently I started biking to work. To get it out in the open, I didn't do this for environmental reasons. I did because I am on a new work out routine and I wanted to save money by not having to buy a 3rd car. It definitely helped since I live 3 miles from work and the bike path is fairly flat.

We are family of four and an au pair. My wife drives one car to work and au pair needs the other to drop and pickup our older one from preschool. So that left us in a bind. Do we buy a car, specially since the au pair is not a long term solution?

We started this as an experiment by having our au pair drop me off at work, then do her daily routine and pick me up end of the day. It was a little inconvenient. Once the weather got better, I tried biking to work. That was the tipping point. The 1st day, my legs hurt a lot and I totally felt out of shape. Within days, I had more energy, felt alert, full of life and vibrant.

All in all, I am in better shape, saving money, and loving it.
