hm there was a marked difference in my life, going from working two casual jobs... no car.... cycling to Leedy from Maylands to start at 5am, work til 12 or so, ride to the city, leave bike locked up in mall, catch bus to 2nd job and work through to 4 or 5pm... to working 9-5 in one location at a desk and earning about the same :P
