Bet you thought all we concern ourselves with here is medical well being...if you call it that. Truth be told we are all feeling the effects of a floundering economy, rising energy and food costs as well. So how can we take what we learn from the health care world, low cost alternatives concept, and apply it to other aspects of our life where we may also feel the need for options without compromising usual benefits.
I bought a bike... though initially not totally for fuel saving costs, it has become my daily commuter to work and other activities that are within riding distance from my home. I wont spend time on the health benefits of riding a bicycle as opposed to driving, we'll just say it's he
althier for us and saves us a few bucks, which I am really beginning to appreciate; I saw a $5.00 per gallon station on my way to work this morning.
I read this when I came in today from the Huffington Post which helps me feel grateful for a lower cost alternative.
A number of employees here take the train to work from as far as Orange County and Pasadena.
Obvious benefits are the amount of free time you have to work, watch a movie on your iPhone, catch up on the news or read.
I've even heard of a few of us taking the 720 bus to work...gutsy!
EDF has some great stories on biking to work and how its helped people in their personal health goals and pockets.
So go buy your fixie, road, cruiser or hybrid bike and use it... you may even get a tan.
