Comments Off on First day biking into work at new job
With new baby and new job, I don’t have a ton of time right now. But today’s combo bike-bus trip into work touched on the following papers I’ll eventually write:
- Why suburbanites see only empty buses
- Why frontage roads are bad for cars
- Why frontage roads are bad for public transportation
- Why we need to set aside 15% of that one category of federal MPO money for bike/ped projects
- Auto drivers are nicer than you think
- Fancy bike locking systems are a good intention gone awry
A few years ought to do it…
The trip went smoothly except for the surprise when the bus pulled up to 38th and Lamar and didn’t have a bike rack in front. Luckily there was another guy there doing the same thing who showed me that on the new fancy buses, they’re supposed to go in as luggage(!).
