Economics

I've been bicycling to school since Spring of my freshman year. Until this time last year, I lived five miles away from Reed.

(5 miles) (2 trips/day) (5 days/week) (32 weeks/school year) (1 school year) = 1600 miles

Spring of last year, I moved a little further-seven miles away from Reed.

(7 miles) (2 trips/day) (5 days/week) (32 weeks/school

Tell me if you get any sweet super powers on number 300.

(See? "Sweet". Because they're mochas instead of just coffees. Unlike in the cartoon.)

Did you cancel your insurance while you were at it?

The thing is, even if you factor in the cost of the bike (assuming it was new bike and a couple hundred bucks) and *don't* factor in the cost of the car (which at its cheapest cheapest would be at least five hundred bucks, probably way more so), you *still* come out ahead.
