I was thinking this morning...a dangerous past time, I know!
...I pay £80+ a month to travel to work via public transportation every morning. Work is approximately 1 mile away from home...
...I pay £40+ a month to go to the gym, where I usually run about 2 miles on the treadmill...
Seems to me I could save myself £120 by running to work every morning!
See how much laziness costs?

Re: Realization.....
So true! I started walking to work when I lived in D.C., and it was great exercise and I saved the $ on the metro too. The summers a great time to walk too! A mile to work is a great commute! DH and I just bought bikes and have been having so much fun riding all over too! So much better than an exercise bike!

Re: Realization.....
Is it possible for you to walk to work? I would LOVE to be able to! (I really can't---since my commute involves a big, scary bridge with no known walkway.) But, I have been able to in the past and I was in the best shape ever when I was walking to work everyday.

I CAN walk, but I don't usually get up early enough!
But, once we find new apartment where we have some outside space, DH and I want to get bikes so that we can ride to work. I think that would probably be best for me. I wouldn't get AS sweaty...plus the darn thing would pay for itself in one month!!!

Until you 2 get a bigger place, why not get unicycles?
Um, seeing as I was contemplating training wheels for an extra little bit of balance, I'm not sure it's a smart move to cut it down to just one wheel...
C'mon Liz, you know my track record in clumsiness!!!!!!
