Bikes and Buses and Walking

[cream_and_custard]

Got a bike recently. A used one, in good condition! Got it from a small, local store near me. I've riding it to work on some days, and I use it to go to the library. Had one before but it broke bad haha.

On days where my mom drops me off at work, I tend to walk home, but as I've finally learned how to use our transit app, I've been catching the bus home as well. It was pretty packed today.

Note that previously, I was grabbing rides from family, and taking Uber a bunch of places. Not only is this helping to reduce my carbon, but I feel so much more free now, with the bike especially. No money needed, and I can't always rely on others for a ride. It's great.


Anyone else like to bike around or take the bus sometimes? Where I live the bus isn't great, and the streets aren't great for biking either, but I endure haha. I tend to bike on the sidewalks.

How lovely, glad things are working out well with the new bike :D I usually walk or cycle everything in a 5km radius of where I live because I don't have the patience to wait for the bus, haha. Recently, the safe path I usually take to the library was blocked for renovations and I ended up going another way, and finding a really safe (separated from the main road) cycle path that takes me to the library even faster and I am delighted with my find :D Good luck and have fun with the new freedom!!

Yeah, that's why I bike most places too haha, I can get places faster than it tends to come, but I've been real lucky with its timing after work!

Glad you found a nice new path!

And thank you ^^

Go you!

Our local bike shop sometimes sets their sign to "Wow, gas is expensive!" It makes me smile.
