I had a co-worker say she would consider biking in if she had a decent bike, but it's clear that getting one isn't high on her priority list. I suggested to a library patron who was asking questions about my biking, that she could bike in, but first she said that walking was hard enough on her knees...I pointed out that walking is actually harder on your joints than biking. Then she just laughed and said that since she had a car, she was going to use it. Oh well...
And re parking lots--I sometimes check the parking lot of companies. If the lot is filled with nice cars, it might be worth applying for a job, since it's clear the employees are well paid. If the cars aren't so good, the pay is probably low. The worst collection of rusty wrecks I've seen were in the parking lot of Animax, a company that renders down dead animals. Ecch, I would think they'd have to pay people a fortune to work there!
