Allen uses a bicycle and the bicycle trailer for almost all of his daily transportation needs. He rides year-round in rain or snow, hot or cold.
Allen, a 44-year-old is a hard-core cyclist who typically rides 150 to 200 miles a week on daily errands and to his job as a waiter at St. Elmo Steakhouse.
He estimates he saves $12,000 a year on car insurance, gasoline, car payments and parking by living a close-to-carless lifestyle. His wife, Kellie, has a 2010 Subaru Outback, a vehicle Allen says he usually only drives or rides in when he's with his wife or whole family.
The benefits are not just financial, Allen said cycling for transportation keeps his energy levels high and allows him the luxury of not counting calories.
"I'd rather start the day like that than sitting in the car cussing at my dashboard," he said.
On a recent morning, Allen covered the roughly 6 miles from his home near Downtown to his daughter's school on the Northside in roughly 25 minutes -- roughly the time a motorist may allot for such a trip during the morning rush hour.
He rides his both kids in the bicycle trailer for many benefits and everyday use.
Find many types of bicycle trailers on the market and follow, maybe not exactly, the great example and lifestyle.
It is a great idea, with so many benefits!
