Driving for dollars? Why not Biking for dollars...

So many of us canvass areas by car but I've found that cars tend to move too quickly and you often miss details when you are inside a metal box. Walking takes too much time and you don't cover much ground. But i find that biking through neighborhoods is a perfect blend of the two. You can stop at will and not look like a stalker. Carry a backpack with all of your supplies. Use a smartphone handlebar mount so you can navigate more easily. You can also access areas that you might skip in a car or not even be able to access them. Plus you are actually getting exercise on the job which is a big bonus. I find that when I am on a bike, I am more relaxed because I am enjoying the outdoors and still getting things done. Hope this helps some of you out!
