Got a Girl Crush On: Emily Finch, mother of 6 with no car and 1 incredible bike
Call her crazy. Call her a Portland stereotype&mdash;although she claims she doesn&rsquo;t do it to save the world&mdash;&ldquo;I cancel out my bike riding every day with all the other terrible things I do,&rdquo; she admits. &ldquo;I don&rsquo;t compost, I stink at vegetable gardening&rdquo;.
But, Emily (34) traded in her SUV for a&nbsp;bakfiets (a traditional Dutch cargo tricycle) to haul her brood of six (ages 2 to 11).

In three years, Emily estimates she&rsquo;s spent about $135 dollars maintaining her bike.
It also saves her money on exercise equipment or a gym membership. She&rsquo;s lost 25 pounds since she got the bike in 2009 and says she never thought she&rsquo;d get back to her pre-birth weight after having six kids. When I asked her why she doesn&rsquo;t get an electric-assist system, she replied with a big smile, &ldquo;Because I like chocolate!&rdquo;
