Damn I'm impressed! The cost of a ~$5k bike offset by 430 miles in a car.
I dont know, even if gas was free I don't see it. :)

I think I am more obtuse than you are impressed. I didn’t notice your little edit to the text without the double underline and strikeout annotations. The calculations are notwithstanding the price of bike vs car vs tailwind vs gasoline. And the market rate for a ton of carbon dioxide and methane fluctuates as the global fires and flatulating Greeks flood the market with supplies.

The question you ask above is much easier to answer. I think the going rate to operate a vehicle is 57.5 cents per mile, so about 10,000 miles…ish.
 
HOOLiGaNs! I forgot to mention: Please remember to hydrate, make sure you bring the appropriate safety gear, and don’t forget to bring your CA Governor recall ballot so we can discuss how we plan to vote. If you already submitted your vote, just wear your “I voted” sticker on your jersey and let everyone know your political views when the pre-ride round table gets to you.

I already voted, but DAMN.... that was a lot of names. Like going to Baskin Robbins for ice cream and all the flavors suck.

There is some truth to that because I ride slowly and weak in heat and it's no fun for me. Temps will already be in the low 80s there when every gets rolling on Saturday.

Also, a month ago, I made a special work appointment with a client for this Saturday before he leaves on vacation. Yes, I could change that appointment if I had to and if we had cooler temps in the forecast, I would.
