Not bad considering that I leave my house when I drive at 6:10 to get there at 6:30. It is already cost effective for me - a round trip from my home to work and back is 10 miles and my Xterra doesn't do much better than that per gallon in town. Along with the convenience ( I can read or knit on my way to work) it is a definite win-win for me. Conchscotter - the Valley Metro is installing bike racks on the front of all the buses so I'll try that for other intown excursions soon.Sandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00920755978369758098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31506255.post-55324429840815680532008-06-01T02:20:00.000-04:002008-06-01T02:20:00.000-04:00Can you carry a bicycle on a rack?

The combination of bus and bike is enough to cover most travel requirements (assuming you don't ride a Bonneville) when you arrive.Conchscooterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08016331487463993200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31506255.post-5243115729125578462008-05-31T23:27:00.000-04:002008-05-31T23:27:00.000-04:00I'm interested to know how long it took you to get...I'm interested to know how long it took you to get from your home to the hospital...and then the return as well...I've tried to figure this out for me, but I think I have to leave home an hour before I have to be at work! Which is ridiculous for a less than five mile commute!<BR/>(And my car is a 4 cyl. so it's still not cost effective, even with the price of gas today - but I'm thinking that will change!)<BR/>(((hugs)))Nana Sadiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13337300042637714815noreply@blogger.com
