The idiot in 4 wheels is ... ME!

And cycling is just an ability in Magic the Gathering. [addsig]

@Dean

I must agree with you (if you meant "this guy" instead of "these guys") [addsig]

I used to bike to school but then I got too high in the classes and changed school to one that is 7 miles away. And now it's winter so I can't bike anyway. I do ride the bus though!

Seriously.
I have to drive to work since it's 30 K's apart from home.
Transportation system is not good, so Bus is not an option.

Wake up one hour earlier and bike there. I promis you, you'd feel great. 30km isn't that far...

I do...... 10 km one way. Most of my route is on separate bicycle paths so it's relatively safe, however there are a few busy crossings. Even though there is a light and I don't even attempt to cross unless I have a green light, I find there are unfortunately quite a few drivers who run their (red) light and almost rip me off the road while they're at it

I've had a few very close calls.

If the weather is really terrible, or if I have to attend a meeting elsewhere, I go by car.

The only time I dont bike is in the winter. Its 10miles from my flat to work. Luckly for me 8 miles are along a cycle path on a disused railway. Makes it so much easlier.
