hi...couldnt really fit the entire thread title i wanted but i figure this will at least inspire a lot of views


i currently ride the cat to and from work...i'm hoping to find someone that works downtown and has similar hours as mine so that I could carpool with them...post here or send a pm and let me know how much you'd charge

7/6/2008 1:19:25 PM

why don't you bike?

7/6/2008 1:49:46 PM

hours are fairly flexible, anywhere from like 7:45-9:15...can leave anywhere from 4:15-6

you might want to off some gas money too, instead of coming off as a mooch

Haha, if you want to get hit by a vehicle while commuting down Avent Ferry and Western on a bicycle, you can commute by bike from here to downtown. Now, if you commute on the sidewalk and break the law, it's not so bad, but you'll probably get caught if ya do that every day.

Raleigh isn't a bike-friendly city yet, and overall its drivers treat cyclists with contempt.

i dont get why its illegal to bike on the sidewalk anyways...i assume they dont want you to because its so walkers dont get hit...but i dont feel that should make it illegal

imo, you should be able to ride on the sidewalk and if you hit someone, that person could sue

simple as that imo

7/6/2008 6:24:58 PM

yeah i mean what is and uglier scene

bicycle plows in to pedestrian

OR

vehicle plows in to bicyclist

7/6/2008 11:39:02 PM

and if cyclists rode on the sidewalks there wouldn't be such hostility to bikers

7/6/2008 11:58:42 PM

wheres that pic of the crown vic that plows into the group of bikers

DING DING DING! We have a winner. I rode it downtown every day when I lived on Avent Ferry. It was a pretty nice ride.

7/31/2008 11:06:19 AM

did you wear dress clothes when you did it? or have a bookbag filled with a laptop and other things?

7/31/2008 11:08:07 AM

thanks to all that have inquired

That was back when I was a student and my job was with the university. I just wore shorts and a t-shirt.

Now that I have a real job, I bike to work once or twice a week. I bring clothes and a towel the day before.

7/31/2008 12:35:59 PM

hmmm...didnt think of that one...lewoods told me to just wrap my clothes around my laptop but that didnt seem like that great of an idea either
