Long has been the road to personal salvation/freedom. On the cusp of being debt free after many a personal and financial boondoggle. Once the debt is eliminated, more dinero to sock away to a free tomorrow/future!
My biking to work was inspired by these forums (32-34 miles round trip, 1.5-2 hours each way--bad math when I posted this if Transportation area ). But I am doing it, by golly!
Thanks to everyone for all the excellent posts, links, tips & inspiration. I hope I can live up to the contribution level!
