Duck Marshall 🚲<p>Families like mine, two working parents with young kids living in suburbia, tend to need two cars. I don't like driving if I don't have to. Instead of a second car, my cargo bike is my SUV! I can haul my two primary school kids all around town, do a full week grocery shop for four— </p><p>and even carry a new, large, swimming pool home from the retail park through the lovely sunshine past the ducks at Callendar Park!</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/utilityCycling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>utilityCycling</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/bike" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bike</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/sustainable" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sustainable</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/activeTravel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>activeTravel</span></a></p>

Tevis<p>I biked 6,030 km in 2024, up from 4,042 km in 2023.</p><p>~81% of this was for utility: commuting, going to the store, visiting friends, etc., with the rest for recreation. This is up from ~55% last year. </p><p>Counting only utility riding, I spent ~15 cents/km, down from ~18 cents/km last year.</p><p>My car had triple the expenses but only about half the mileage, so I sold it in August!</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/biketooter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>biketooter</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/cycling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cycling</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/utilitycycling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>utilitycycling</span></a></p>

Matt<p>My abject failure to get around to putting the knobbly tyres on my gravel bike means I’ve been riding the utility beast a lot lately.

Tevis<p>I biked 4,042 km in 2023. 44.1% of that was for recreation; 55.9% was for utility (with 32.0% for my commute). Almost all of this was on my Raleigh Record Ace.</p><p>I spent $417.37 on <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/cycling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cycling</span></a>, including building new bike stands for my office. That's $0.103/km, or $0.185/km if you only count utility cycling.
