I'd say I spend under $50 a year, most of which is in tires and inner tubes. There's also the extra benefit that my ass is fantastic!
And I will be smug about having my air conditioning and heating for when the weather's less than fantastic.
Seriously, though, I wish I could walk/bike to work, but it's a 15/16 mile trip... mostly taking major freeways. I'd have to get up even earlier and I'd arrive to work/home completely worn out, I'm sure.
The funny thing about commuting by bike? After a few days, you realize that it's really not that bad if you're hot, cold, or wet.
My current commute is pretty short, but when I was at Microsoft, it was a 20+ mile trip. It took longer than if I would have sat on my ass in traffic, but when you factor in not going to the gym as often (along with that fabulous ass!), it was a win.
