My biography
Top 5 Reasons Why A Bike Is A Viable Alternative To A Car
5. Faster: Depending on how far you have to go, a bike can actually be faster, especially in Portland, where "we ride bikes, or double-decker bikes!"
4. Fun: Two days a week I get up at 6AM to go to class, and I freaking hate it. I wake like the Kraken and spend a few minutes lying in bed, debating the relative merits of flunking out of school so I could sleep for another hour. My morning is seriously improved by going down hills really fast on my bike. Simple pleasures, man.
3. Environment: I'm a college student who makes a living fundraising for non-profits, so obviously I am a totally eco-friendly gaywad. Cars are the primary cause of air pollution, and little changes like biking to and from work can really help decrease your carbon footprint.
2. Health: Biking is a great way to work exercise into your daily life. Or in my case, justify having a brownie with lunch. That makes me sound like a Cathy cartoon, Ack! Whatever, it’s true.
1. Cost: Let’s not forget the point of this blog. A bike is cheaper than a car, you don’t pay insurance on a bike, and you don't put gas in it.
Cute too, right?
Price: $300
