Sole Power Challenge of Vail
The Town of Vail, the Vail Recreation District and Friends across the Eagle Valley are excited to bring you the Sole Power Challenge – a free summer contest designed to help us all reduce our carbon footprint, get fit, and save the planet and dollars all at the same time!
Sole Power Commuting Saves Money
Bicycle commuting creates instant return on the investment by using the simplest “biofuel” – human energy. For instance, consider the money saved by riding a bike to work. Factor in the car’s rate of gas mileage, the distance ridden, and the price of fuel. An American example: A car gets 25 miles per gallon; gas costs nearly $4 per gallon; the commute to work is 7 miles one way.
Roundtrip, that particular ride saves about $2.24 each time. A bike commuter averaging three to four rides a week just for the summer saves about $180. And consider it a free gym membership, besides. Commuting to Vail from Eagle, for example, a few times a week in the summer can save about $672!
