I am grateful that I sprung for this really nice, comfortable bike way back when. And I’m especially grateful that I did not get rid of my bike over all these moves and my minimalist kick.
Today is the first day of this plan. I returned the rental car. The twins are tied up all day with work and school…time to get ready for my new normal.
I’m reading all your comments on my last budget post…thank you for the constructive feedback. I’ll respond after I put some thought into it and look into my forecasting…

Hope, biking is a great idea.
Glad you already have a bike at hand.
May I suggest to get some lights (front and rear) and reflectors (I think another 2 to the two already on the wheels would increase the visibility) and a helmet to increase your safety though.
Yes to reflectors. Might put some on your backpack, too?
Awesome! You’re making do with what you have, and I salute you! Great idea with multiple benefits. Keep cruisin’.
Way to go, Hope. Be sure to check with your insurance agent about dropping coverage completely. It sometimes puts you in a high risk category when you start back up. In California, you can buy a non- owners policy. It covers you if you borrow or rent a vehicle and it’s relatively inexpensive.
