Bikes: Lots

I just started this semester Monday.

I have a 12mile one ways commute on MWF. 20min car ride on interstate, turned in to 45min bike ride, half on a bike path, one huge hill. I go to a Community Collage that is really small. So there are no other students riding there bike.

One kid riding a Kona mountain bike(he does not know where the bike rack is & lock it in the court yard, kind of odd)
One teacher riding an older Bianchi Commuter bike(I have not seen it sense last fall, so I don't know if he still does)


That's all at my school. It's really a pretty small place. One main building I rode quite a few times last year, but got held up for stupid reason like carrying supplies. This year that is not going to stop me. The only thing that might is weather, but I'm thinking of getting a 29er just for winter.

I do want more people to start riding to school, so I'm thinking of trying to get people more aware of it. First starting with posting a sign pointing out the bike rack, either the proper way throw the school, or just post them up my self with signs I made. Witch ever way. I will have it by the end of this week hopefully. Theft is not a problem, because know one knows even.

I also want to try get my old High school to promote Biking a lot with the grade school in town. I live in a community of soccer moms driving there SUVs to drop of there kids 2 blocks away at school(that's not a joke)



It would be awesome to get a "Sub-Forum" for school related commuters(students are different then other commuter, we are poor) "ADMINISTRATORS HOW ABOUT IT"
