"Zoot Katz" wrote in message ... Averaged out it's only $1441.34 per year or $144.13 per bike per year. Fourteen hundred bucks is what it costs to insure one car for a year. Not bad for transportation, wardrobe, entertainment and fitness. Plus I've got something to show for it except cancelled cheques from the insurer. That's nice. How many kids do you have to haul around? Dave |

I have friends who have recently become cycling enthusiasts. They tend to be relatively cheap and are always suprised with the cost of this sport. Unfortunatly they don't see big picture, which obviously you do. -- Craig Brossman, Durango Colorado remove "mydebt" to reply |

... Zoot Katz wrote in part: Averaged out it's only $1441.34 per year or $144.13 per bike per year. Fourteen hundred bucks is what it costs to insure one car for a year. $1400 a year for insurance? That's Canadian dollars I hope! If it's USD you must be a high risk driver. It really matters where you live -- I paid a lot lower insurance when I lived in a small town in upstate NY, than when I lived in an urban neighborhood in Southern California. The issue wasn't my driving skills, it was the risk of theft and damage. -- Warm Regards, Claire Petersky please substitute yahoo for mousepotato to reply Home of the meditative cyclist: http://home.earthlink.net/~cpetersky/Welcome.htm Personal page: http://www.geocities.com/cpetersky/ See the books I've set free at: http://bookcrossing.com/referral/Cpetersky |

This "big picture" would only apply if your friends were to get rid of their cars and depend on their bicycles exclusively for transportation. Dave |

Hmmm... maybe your *own* poor driving is why you tag all drivers with the appellation of "scumbag scud jockeys".g Regards, Bob Hunt Insurance rates are vastly different by zip code, and a lot of step-9 (no incidents in 10 years) drivers are paying over $2000 US for insurance. Other drivers in other places are paying much less, despite less than perfect records. Austin -- I'm pedaling as fast as I durn well please! There are no X characters in my address |
