Bicycles
When man first stepped onto his virgin lands he walked on bare feet. As the sands of time mixed in his mind he invented the wheel, the mother of transportation. Taming the wild horses and beasts to do his labor, his civilization advanced, but it was millennia before the next revolution in transportation: the bicycle.
I'm finally being forced to buy a bicycle for communting to physics next semester. I've been looking on craigslist for a really cheap road bike with a large frame and I finally found someone selling an ancient 61 cm Peugeot bike. Considering Peugeot's reputation for cars, I'm still a little skeptical. Apparently many French in the 1970s won the Tour de France on them though. It looks to be in pretty good condition and is going for $199, although I'm hoping to bargain that down a little. I never thought that I would find myself in the market for a Peugeot, though.
Adam, don't bike to Lewis & Clark from Wilson. My dad literally nearly got killed doing that (or crossing that same intersection).
I've walked through that intersection everyday for years without problems. At the very worst, I can just get off and walk the bike across it.
What ever happened to the Driver's License plans?
My mom decided that she was not going to let me learn to drive without taking drivers ed, so I'm devising alternative forms of transportation to get where I need to go.
Your mom wont let you learn without drivers ed? Suddenly I dont feel so alone...
