I have been saving lots of money by maximizing my carpool driving and driving alone only when required by work.
Recently, started to figure out more ways of saving gas and but it took more prep time. I decided to bicycle to my carpools house! Read more...

My carpool's house is about 3-4 miles from my residence and it takes me about 20 minutes to ride there. It takes me 10 minutes to drive there. The only draw back is the changing of clothes and the sweating. However, i decided to try out something new: an electic bike!
Going to the carpools house too the same amount of time if not less, as the way there is down hill, however the ride back to my house usually takes me 30-40 minutes going up hill. The electric motor made the trip back much easier, especially after a days work.
