Why Calculate Cost Per Ride?

This calculator helps you understand the true cost of using your bike, beyond just the initial purchase price. By knowing your cost per ride, you can:

  • Compare the cost-effectiveness of bike commuting versus driving

Example Scenario

Suppose you purchased a bike for $500, spend $200 annually on maintenance, have $100 in insurance costs, and ride it 300 times per year:

Your cost per ride would be ($500 + $200 + $100) ÷ 300 = $2.33 per ride.
