On my wish list: This new Electra Amsterdam bicycle inspired by renowned artist Alexander Girard

Find out how much money you can save by bicycling to work or school instead of driving here. (Note: kiplinger.com is an American website, so it uses U.S. stats in its methodology, and miles instead of km–but a nifty calculator nonetheless).

And if you’re wondering how many calories you’ll burn off: a 130-lb woman bicycling moderately for 20 minutes will burn 124 calories, according to the calories burned calculator on fitwatch.com.

    OMG! That bike is super cute but looks like it would weigh a ton!!

    Could get some weightlifting done, too, then! (not sure how much Electra bikes weigh…).
