OK, I don't drink Evian or Perrier when I ride, but I do burn an extra 1700 calories or so in a round trip commute. Which is cheaper: paying for 40 miles worth of gas, or eating and extra 1700 calories of reasonably quality food? 1700 calories is a decent meal. I'm guessing gas is cheaper. By the gallon, gas is definitely cheaper than milk.
Now I don't commute to save the environment, or to save money. I love to ride and would need some sort of workout anyway. I guess I save on my own mental health when I ride. I just haven't quite figured out the economics of it yet. On the flip side, I could build another fixed gear conversion for less than I paid to have a serpentine belt replaced in my car the other day!
