$1600 in TTC fares not spent

My records indicate that I've saved $1600 in TTC fares since late March of 2011 by cycling to work on many days. Part of the savings has come in the form of the third trips I frequently take on errands while on home - the stops along the way that would require a third token. It adds up - that's more than twice the price of the bike I bought this summer, and is much more than I've spent on my two certifications, so far.

My grandfather once told me that there are two kinds of people: those who work and those who take the credit. He told me to try to be in the first group; there was less competition there.
