Hit 500 miles on my bike commute this year and I almost missed it

I started biking to work back in March after my car died and I couldn't afford a new one right away. I live in Portland and my office is about 4 miles away, so I figured it was doable. Checked my tracker app last night and I'm at 503 miles for the year. That's roughly 120 gallons of gas I didn't burn, which at $3.50 a gallon is like $420 back in my pocket. I know 500 miles isn't a ton compared to real cyclists but for a dude who hadn't ridden since middle school it feels huge. Anyone else track their car free miles? Curious what numbers you're hitting.

Tracked mine the same way and watching that gas savings add up kept me going.
