See ya later TRANSPORTATION COSTS!
Well, it's been exactly 6 months since I last updated (eeek! falling off the Tumblr train, hard!) but nonetheless:
JULY: $370 (rented a car for a week; high cost reflects need for insurance... must find credit card that covers this! or some other option? aaargh) AUGUST: $30 (to friends for carpooling) SEPTEMBER: $40 (to friends for carpooling) OCTOBER: $0 NOVEMBER: $36 (bus tickets) DECEMBER: $12 (bus tickets)
TOTAL: $488.00 in costs for cars and buses
I'm getting lucky weather-wise so far this winter; November was cold, icy, snowy and un-bike-able but December has been relatively clear for road riding to work.
TWO MORE MONTHS = 1 year without a car! Feeling pretty converted so far.
Carsharing continues to expand in major cities around the globe.
"The issue is not, 'Is carsharing a better deal for this journey than having my own private car?' It almost never is. The real issue is, 'Can my lifestyle be sustained by using carsharing, and how does that compare with the tradeoff in terms of not having to deal with the fixed cost, hassle, insurance, and everything that goes with owning a car.'"
"Commuting is the last thing many people want to do.
I mean that literally: a survey (PDF) of women found that commuting, especially in the morning, was the most unpleasant thing they had to do on a regular basis. Unsurprisingly, the women’s favorite acts – sex and socializing after work – are both directly inhibited by a long commute. What makes this even worse is that we have to do this thing we hate more than anything – twice a day, every single day. It’s like a chronic illness that we’ve just learned to accept.
It doesn’t have to be that way, though."

It's pretty late to post, but nonetheless!
Sittin' pretty on... TRANSPORTATION COSTS
MAY: $0.00 !!! (I'm not lying... biked everywhere or got a ride)
JUNE: $26.00 (Borrowed a friend's car to go out of town: $20; got a flat tire/new tube $6)
I'm afraid July isn't looking so hot--rented a car for a camping trip and what a fiasco that was ...
My cost of bicycling (what’s yours?)

IN COMMENTARY
A while back I wrote a fact-check of the $308 figure that gets bandied about as the annual cost of bicycling in the US. As I discovered, the number is entirely false; it’s based on an old data entry error that quietly persisted until it became taken for granted as a fact.
I found (as often seems to be the case) that transportation economist Todd Litman had already come up with a much better calculation for the annual cost of riding, using the same metric that is used to calculate the yearly cost of driving. The price of a new vehicle is spread across the life of that vehicle, and the cost of repairs are calculated per-mile.
TRANSPORTATION COSTS at a new LOW (!) for APRIL 2014 (this report comes a little late, but nonetheless):
April bus pass: n/a Number of times I took the bus: 0 Rides requiring the use of a car: 2 + ? (carpooled) Cost for use of car: $40.00 (t0 friends for the use of their car or a ride northward) *New*/used bike trailer: $3.00 (gifted; needed tube)
Total transportation costs for April 2014: $43.00!!!
Let's see how I fare in May... report is in the making.
