    So that would be their car payment then if it’s pre insurance. That also tracks.

    I pay 165 a month for one car and I haven’t had any tickets or accidents in over 7 years so might depend where you live as well

    But now imagine if that 12 min car ride was easily bikeable or had public transport. You’d get to places far easier and you would have shops etc around you so you didn’t have to drive 20 min to get to a grocery store.

      Oh absolutely. My commute is essentially a straight shot from my house, but it’s a 55mph rural highway where everyone does 60+. My little bike can hit 52mph on a good day, but there’s very little shoulder to use when others want to pass, so it’s either hang on tight in traffic or take the longer backroads 🫤

      I’m working on getting my other motorcycle (1980 XR500) ready for street use, that one handles even freeway traffic just fine.
