It's an adventure every time.<br /><br />So, yes, get a bike.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6246743662284890173.post-71794016317204287192016-04-28T19:51:43.781-04:002016-04-28T19:51:43.781-04:00Anything we can do to encourage people to get out ...Anything we can do to encourage people to get out of their cars is a good thing.

I often sit in fury on my bus as people are dropping coins into the fare machine, taking up precious time as the bus sits in ever amassing traffic.
