I might be able to do this a lot sooner than I thought. At least car-lite. My apartment currently sits in a pretty bad spot for a bike commute, but I know the Alum Creek green way is right across the street (sacrilege, I know...I fight traffic when there is a perfectly good bike way 500 feet from me. To be fair, my bike is sitting in pieces and a tacoed wheel awaiting funds to rebuild to a decent commuter.) As I have been considering this more and more, I've been looking at some of the local sites and have realized that I could use MUPs pretty much the whole way to the CSCC campus.
Once I got done with the current bike project, I had planned to find a used Mountain Bike for a winter bike project.
Now might be the time to start scrounging the thrift stores, especially with gas at 3.18...
