If you live in an apartment, you probably live somewhere in the center of town and it doesn't take you that long to travel to your daily destinations. So ride a bike, walk or take the bus.
Save gas and money and invest in a good bike for around $200 brand new. Or find one at a garage sale or pawn shop. Depending on your city and how far you travel, you can save hundreds of dollars a year, not to mention the weight you're cutting off your carbon footprint.
I used to drive 10 minutes to work every morning. It was a typical drive: half a dozen stop signs and just as many stop lights with stop-and-go traffic the entire way. One day, I decided to bike. I plugged in my iPod, filled up a reusable squeeze water bottle and pedaled away. It took 20 minutes to get to work and the ride was much more enjoyable. I've gone from filling up my car twice a month to once a month. And now I'm trying to ride more places rather than drive. I slap on a backpack for carting goods and I'm golden.
Bicycles are a perfect solution to getting into shape and saving money and the environment.
