I usually drive to school because I live in PB. I usually hit traffic
early in the morning and coming home in the afternoon because there is
really only one way to get to the 5 going in and out of PB so that slows
me down, as does parking. It is also pretty costly these days with gas and
to pay for parking, but after this experiment of trying a new form of
transportation, where I chose to ride a bike to school, I found that
driving is the way for me. Although bike riding is very healthy, the fresh
air and scenery were nice, not to mention that I didn't pay any money
for transportation at all, I would never do it again. Riding a bike all
the way to school, even with out my normal loaded back pack proved to be
very exhausting, hot, and more than anything else, very long. I would
rather pay more money for less time and less physical effort. If I want
some fresh air, I'll roll down my windows when I drive instead or walk
along the beach, maybe for 30 minutes max instead of 2 and a half hours
worth of biking up hills!
