I haven’t been commuting to work recently, as I haven’t been working. I’ve been laid off for almost two weeks now. My interest in biking and bussing hasn’t waned, though. I’ve been taking some short rides to the park and the store, and I’m planning to fix up my bike a bit, although I don’t [...]

As I said in my last bus post, I lost my bus pass. Therefore, I have to pay cash (or buy another pass or tickets) in order to ride the bus. I was contemplating biking exclusively, but didn’t quite make it today. I rode up to the bus stop this morning, and caught the bus [...]
