It saves me time at the gym.
Instead of spending 25 minutes in traffic and then 45 minutes jogging at the gym; I can spend 45 minutes riding my bicycle home and be done.
I know for me, personally, it hasn't saved my any money and it'll be nearly 2 years of riding into work before I break even on my bicycle purchase (assuming I don't spend any more money on bicycle stuff/don't get any flats/don't get any repairs). And I have a cheap $400 dollar Ibex Road Bicycle.
