“Burn Fat not Gas” just came alive tonight at www.fatnotgas.com.

Right now, the web site is incredibly simple – It’ll determine the environmental, economic, and health savings you’d benefit from by biking to work rather than driving based on averages.

The site is really a product of a) me wanting to try my hand at a simple Ruby on Rails project, b) my increasing inner rage towards the Alberta Oil sands after more studies and c) having a few free evenings.

Given all the time in the world, I’d love to support a community of passionate cyclists with forums, merchandise, commuting maps, challenges and other features.

In the mean time I’d love to hear what you think.

Keep cycling …
