Realized that I was driving way more than I needed to
Lately part of my commute has been a mess because of construction, so I started taking my ebike to work. Haven't tried it for commuting before, and it surprisingly works really well. No more meaningless waiting, and I even have time to grab a coffee instead of sitting in traffic.
It's been a little over a week now, and now I've been riding it for other short trips too. Quick store stops, dropping off packages, going to gym, all the stuff I used to just grab the car for without thinking.
I didn't really realize how much all those little car trips were costing me until I stopped doing them. I'm saving around 50 bucks a week on gas now, and I'm also getting some easy cardio out of it. And it's not just gas, parking, insurance, and random stuff don't show up on my bill. My car needed brakes last month and that alone was about $480, plus it ate up most of my afternoon. For my Ranger 3.0 pro, I've pretty much only bought locks, a helmet, and a bottle of chain lube since it arrived.
Okay now I'm actually starting to seriously think about getting around mostly by ebike.
