I live in Eastlakes & travel to uni at Ultimo by bus everyday. The distance is only about 7 kms & it cost me around $50 a week. So will it be better to travel using a bicycle which is gonna cost me around $500. Also I need to travel at night, so I'm a bit uncertain whether to continue to travel by bus or getting a bicycle.

I spent a year catching public transport for 2 hours a day while i studied and it saved me a lot of money on petrol. I now have a bike that i use to travel to and from work and for most of the year it is great but you do get wet, it can be cold and it does get quite hot in summer. i also invested in a good backpack that contains a water bladder and reach around 'straw' so i can keep hydrated while riding. i also found i had to invest in good shoes, high visual gear and lights but overall i am healthier for it and i saved money in the long run.
