Zactly. Vigorous riding can burn 700 cal/hr, that's ~7 bananas worth of calories. At 50cents each that's $3.50/hr over which you might travel 18 miles. My SUV gets 22 miles per $4 gallon of gas.
I thought the whole point of being on a bike is to get away with eating more pancakes, no? Spending money on pancakes > spending money on gas Also, first post!
Welcome aboard. Awesome first post, bro. Too bad we can't metabolize gasoline. With ~32,000 calories per gallon and $4/gal it comes to .013 cents/cal. A 50 cent banana costs you 0.5 cents/cal... 40 times as much!
You guys subsist on only bananas? I recommend trying some of the other food groups as well.
