Get out your green Sharpie and circle September 22nd for World Carfree Day! It’s a day put aside to experience what life would be like if there were no cars and people walked or rode bikes instead.
Imagine a greener world with less exhaust, honking and unnecessary revving. Sure, sometimes you need to drive, but bikes can be much more affordable, especially if you use our bicycle discount coupons and these other tricks.
Grab your helmet and let’s ride!
Affordable Bicycles
Riding a bike is an inexpensive solution that causes less stress on the environment. Cars can run in price from a few grand to simply outlandish bucks, while a bike can run from free to a few hundred bucks for a stellar one. Check out this FabulousSavings coupon that’ll have you sailing on men’s, women’s and kid’s bikes:
- Dicks Sporting Goods Coupons – Enjoy 15% off cruisers, comfort, speed, BMX & road bikes
Although bikes fall apart every once in awhile, the repair prices are significantly lower than if your car breaks down. Add in car insurance and gas, and you’ll begin to calculate just how cheap riding a bike can be!
Used Discount Bikes
Another way to start enjoying a nice ride through the park is buying a used bike. If you don’t mind a little wear and tear, keep your eyes peeled for yard sales and put the word out to your friends that you’re on the prowl. One other little known trick? Police auctions are a great way to get beautiful bikes at a…er…steal.
Join the Carfree movement and make the world and your wallet both contain a little more green.
