- Its hard to smoke, put on make-up, shave, or talk on a cell phone when you’re cycling.
- You won’t spend as much quality time sitting in your truly enjoyable car.
- Your insurance agent is a great guy and you’d hate to stop paying car insurance premiums.
- If too many people do it, gas stations and car lots will go out of business, adding to the unemployed.
- The many options of what you can do with the money saved on gas, insurance, and maintenance, may cause minor dilemmas.
- The natural high and energy rush you’ll feel daily will increase your performance at work, possibly leading to a promotion and better pay, further compounding reason number 5.
