The System 643: Buycycling

May 3rd, 2013

Buycycling is how I never have more than a $60 grocery bill. It’s also why I never have soda, chips, or really much food at all in my apartment.

Any of you guys buycyclists?

(Thanks to Marty and Ben for assists with the writing on this one.)

Yep! Tomorrow! We’re doing a show with ThinkGeek in Vienna, VA!

I made a Facebook page for The System. Still figuring out what to put there, but if nothing else if you show a little love it’s greatly appreciated.

This works less well if you bike past a Trader Joe’s on your way toand from work. (You may never spend more than $60, but if you spend $60 a day five days a week, that still adds up. :^)

Doesn't work if you ride an Xtracycle.

This is quite a good method to use until you realize you can still cycle with a ginormous rucksack.

Considering the cost of anything interesting, $60
might buy you about three or four items which definitely qualifies for buycycling. Now for buywalking you might be able to buy more–depending on how much arm strength you have

Women work on that upper body strength. It is very important for bone health!

Definitely – until one has to buy toilet paper. Then it's how much I can fit in my rucksack PLUS what I can hang from my handlebars – bread on one side, bogroll on the other! Try not to flail and send toilet paper flying into the passing cars…

I can't guarantee you won't look like an idiot.

Doesn't work if you have a family.

I'm not overweight because I eat too much; I'm overweight because I have 6 people to feed, the healthy food is too expensive, and I can't afford a bike and trailer (or a babysitter) so I can bike to the store… and I don't have the energy to bike there after eating nothing but crap…
