Giver 18427 | Subject: RE: More bike...more bikes...hooray! More bikes! Where do you live/work, Brett? When I lived in Atl., I commuted by bike from Druid Hills through Buckhead to Atlanta road, south of Vinings. I loved it, cause I got to feel like a bike messenger during afternoon rush. ANd it was about as fast as driving. Rocket Man - 2005-10-06 9:08 AM I wish I could ride to work without getting squished!! |

Pro 3883 Woodstock,GA | Subject: RE: More bikes...more bikes...hooray! More bikes! I live in Woodstock and work in Marietta...I have tried to find various routes but they all seem to have a point that is just too dangerous. The most promising is going down Bells Ferry to US 41 but there is a point on the road with no shoulder and a big drop off. I have also thought about going down past Kennesaw St but the Barrett Pkwy traffic is just terrible, so I drive to work! |

The most promising is going down Bells Ferry to US 41 but there is a point on the road with no shoulder and a big drop off. I have also thought about going down past Kennesaw St but the Barrett Pkwy traffic is just terrible, so I drive to work! How about a park and ride strategy? |

I meant, like park somewhere halfway, then ride the rest of the way. I worked for a while out in Greyson, and would park in Stone Mountain , ride the rest of the way to work, then ride back to the car in the afternoon. |

Pro 3883 Woodstock,GA | Subject: RE: More bikes...more bikes...hooray! More bikes! Its only 18 miles total to work so it wouldn't be worth it, besides I have my (for the most part) private course here around the base with minimal traffic, a couple of good climbs, and its 13.7 miles per loop so I can ride set distances all the while never being more than 3 miles from my car or water, bathroom, etc. Caveat to that is the only bike wreck I have ever had happened on the base when a lady stopped in front of me and I slid down the road at about 30 mph! |

| Elite Veteran 1817 Cedar Rapids, Iowa | Subject: RE: More bikes...more bikes...hooray! More bikes! Riding your bike to work is so great. It's a wonderful way to start and end the workday. It's getting time to invest in some cold weather gear though - high of 48 degrees today! Edited by Tania 2005-10-06 3:45 PM |

The Original 7834 Raleigh/Durham | Subject: RE: More bikes...more bikes...hooray! More bikes! Every week I say I'm going to commute to work on my bike and never do. Perhaps next week will be the week  The high gas prices are starting to get to me. |
