    Insurance is not a per-mile cost.

    The fuck it isn’t! I mean, sure, technically it’s a cost per time period, but the cost per mile is just the cost per time period divided by the miles driven per time period. You can’t just go around pretending it doesn’t matter; that’s dishonest.

    The bikes I have cost far more to maintain and repair.

    Either you are way overpaying on bike maintenance, or you’re leaving car-related costs out.

      …but it isn’t? And it doesn’t?

      the cost per mile is just the cost per time period divided by the miles driven per time period.

      …huh?

      I don’t believe you

      Okay, well, you can just choose not to believe me, that’s your prerogative.
