I get on at my bus' first stop, so I don't have that problem. Nice ride for me, but it was dark the whole way. I hope that my dynohub light on my new bike will be as bright (or better?) than my Cyclolite Rover II LED.
I ride into Salem on a commuter bus, so it would be faster for me if I missed the bus, to ride back home and drive or ride my motorcycle to work.
