I find that very hard to believe. When I bike, I really don't eat that much more than when I don't. Yeah, my appetite increases a little, but I can usually supplement my diet with some pretty cheap calories, or a lot of time just finishing more of what's put in front of me. American portions are fairly large, I usually have a calorie surplus.
And even when I do buy more, a few dollars a day isn't all that much. Now, gas for my commute also wouldn't cost much; at 10 miles a day, that's less than $2 a day. But gas isn't the only cost of owning a car. There's the price of the car itself, and depreciation, maintenance, insurance, taxes, parking. Heck, at my last job, it would have cost $200 a month just for parking alone. My bike has maybe had $1000 put into it for original cost, accessories, maintenance over the past 5 years I've had it, and I've had to put none of those other costs in.
- sliverstorm 14y agoYou'd have to bike at a resting heartrate to come anywhere close to not needing any more food.
- schrodinger 14y agoThat's assuming you don't normally eat more calories than you need. Probably an incorrect assumption for most people.
