I want to bump this up one more time.

This weekend I enjoyed using the bike racks on our buses and wanted to report my satisfaction.

1. Local Bus --- I started buy using the local bus which just happened to roll down the street this Sunday. Normally, I would let it go but why waste my energy riding the same streets when the bus can take me to new ones! LOL! I really appreciate these new racks and the expression from people on the sidewalk tells me they have never seen anyone use them. Total Cost saved (2.35)

2. Local Bus to Newark --- This bus crosses two bridges which can be dangerous and the bike path is full of glass and dirt. However, there's a bus that will cross both bridges so no need for me to waste my energy. Total Cost saved (2.35)

3. Bus to Montclair New Jersey --- There's a train that goes to Montclair but it hardly runs on the weekend. However, the bus from Newark provides service frequenly so this is no longer a problem! You can also ride there but there are alot of hills and the road is less than friendly. This is why I avoided going there for years but now that I discovered "Bike Racks", I decided to visit and what a surprise! This town has great resturants and they even opened a bike shop. Total Cost saved (2.35)

I rode back by bicycle to make the trip complete. Why didn't I use bike racks before?

On a different subject, there was an old guy in a wheel chair waiting for the bus and he told me to keep riding because you're only young once in your life. Sometimes we take things for granted like our ability to ride bicycles. We never seem to think this might be only temporary.

Once the bus arrived, the lift that carrying his wheelchair got stuck and the vehicle couldn't move. It took all the fun out of my bike rack exploring. I went home after that.
