Did you know they have battery-powered bikes now?  It’s true!  Schwinn and Giant make electric bikes for $2000. 

E-bikes and traditional bikes are another way to stretch your commuting dollar.  A lot of people in Chicago bicycle to and from work, especially those on the East side that use the park’s bike paths.  Chicago probably gets 4 full months of comfortable, bike-able commuting weather per year.

So, bike your commute and save some cash!
