Blah blah blah it's warm and sunny blah blah blah still don't have the bike legal...
We figured it up and the savings on gas only equal out the insurance and plate after 94 days of riding it to work. That's four months. If I started today, that would be riding it to work every single day from now until mid-September -- rain, cold and daycare needs notwithstanding. If I assume there are days I can't ride it, it means I'd have to ride it into October or November before we're not losing money on it.
And it snows here in October -- September sometimes. Friggin' northern states and short riding seasons. grumble mumble "pee"&moan...

I wish I could just wave "gas savings" at my wife like a flag, but I can't. We have to pay for my son's birthday next week, then we'll probably do it...she assures me it's still in the plan, that a legal bike isn't ruled out this year.
Whatever, I'm venting...
