Was on my way to work this morning on my bike when it came to my mind, is it really worth it? While using my bike as my mode of transport, I save at least p500 a week. That’s 2k a month on jeep and FX fare alone. On the other hand, every 15th, 30th of the month I see to it that I buy a part for my bike. Which sometimes exceeds my limit… I just say to myself…at least I get exercise daily, not to wake up really early in the morning just to catch a ride…plus I get to ride along with some really cool CONSTRUCTICONS…(laborers. Man, these guys are really fast!) Is it worth it? YEAH its WORTH IT! ;D
;D ;D

Don't forget the fact that you're doing good for the environment and that you're sparing another seat on the public transport for that poor soul who woke up late and is scambling and shoving to get to work today. Its worth it.

500/week = 26,000 a year! Put it in mutual funds or in stocks!

YEAH its WORTH IT! ;D ;D ;D was also in a similar conundrum...'coz i also save roughly the same amount bike-commuting to & from the office. sad to say, i can't do it everyday. presently, i only do it 2x/week. Montalban to Makati is quite a stretch (30++ kms, one way). i asked myself, "Am I crazy in insisting to do this?" but then again, when i remember how "helpless" & "trapped" i feel when i'm commuting via bus/fx/jeepney, versus that of the freedom & the opportunity to sneak in some fun into my work week, then no reasoning is required anymore.

same here, i can stay home later, it's only about a 15 minute trip to the office by bike, but a little over an hour if i commute by PUV's. i can even give my two daughters a bath before going to work i save little though, around P37 per day. now if i only i could teach my wife to ride with me to work...

Mine is around Php23.50 one way, or 47 pesos two way. I can do it around 2-3(max) times a week. I can do it everyday, but sometimes I have some errands after work, or meetings after. Maybe if Metro Manila is already bike friendly I can bike everyday.
Is it worth it? Yeah I think so. at least in my present situation. I was able to find a nice route going through subdivisions and not so used roads, so I'm able to avoid pollution and fast vehicles.
Hey rather than going to the gym, which I find boring. I'll just ride my bike ;D
