Via our friends over at Ideal Bite, some bicycle (click here for my Huffington Post article on Top 10 Commuter Bikes) basics:

- Casual biking burns about 173 calories per hour.
- A typical U.S. family spends nearly $8,000 per year operating a car, while a bike might cost $50 for an annual tune-up.
