Camotags could use some advice:

I am a full time student at a school 50 miles away. I have been trying terribly hard to make for the fact that I have to waste so much gas...However, I have a ***** bike. And am limited on distance because a lot of what I want to get to is too far to ride my bike. But rather than drive I would rather get myself an electric bike....it would cost around $1000 dollars. I was just looking for tips to convince my parents to split that cost with me.

Have any tips? Share them here.
