This adds up to over $2,300 per work year! At that $9/day rate, Bea could pay for the bike in about 8 months (if she commuted by bike every day).</em> Funny thing is, I've done similar calculations for my motorcycles, and it's actually been *cheaper* for me to own a bike in addition to the car. At one point when I was still in college, gas was $2.25/gallon but I was commuting about 500 miles per week. The Civic got 33mpg highway. The Ninja got 50, and maintenance was a fraction of the cost, plus the added value of lack of depreciation on the car from all the extra miles. Surprisingly, it costs her about $9 per day commute!
