In fairness, one of the biggest advantages I get from biking is that I don't need to own a car at all. In the US, this is an average savings of around $8500/year[0]. (I could throw away my bike and buy a new one every time I got a flat or it needed maintenanced and I'd still come out ahead.) I'm not sure the best way to go about having a car for 1-2 months of the year. Granted, I can take the bus, but for some people, that's not an option. (The year I got my bike (2011) was the year we had 90 days over 100 degrees Fahrenheit. Today the high is a nice, cool 90 degrees.)
