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

[Bill Coleman]

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!
