Bike Commute to Save the World

+ 4 other super hero tips.

From Zenhabbits:

Commute by bike or by walking. I’m not saying you have to do it every single day (although some people do it), but even once a week can add up to saving a lot of fossil fuels and global warming over time. For tips on commuting to work by bike, read this article

  • How this helps the environment: You’re using cleaner transportation and wasting fewer resources.
  • How this saves money: You use less gas and there’s less wear and tear on your vehicle, meaning reduced maintenance costs. And if you go far enough and can eliminate one of your vehicles, you can save a ton.
  • How this gets you fitter: This one’s obvious. Walking and cycling are great exercises. Do this two or three times a week, and you’ve got your fitness program all worked out.
  • How this simplifies your life: Well, it might not seem so at first, but a bike is much simpler than a car. No gas to refill, no oil changes, no spark plugs or transmission or air filters or coolant. If you could replace a car with a bike, your life would be much simpler.
  • How this makes you happier: I couldn’t guarantee this either, but I think that by helping save the environment, living cleaner and healthier, and getting a slimmer waistline, you’d be happier. Try it and see. :)
