As I rolled out of the driveway for my morning ride downtown, the traffic lights were still blinking. In fact, they stopped blinking just as I approached the only traffic light I have to go through prior to entering the park. Fortunately, it turned green.
When I arrived at the Bus Plaza, I was surprised to see this scene. Normally, there are lots of people waiting around and several buses. I was the first one to the bus stop. I was not alone for long. The bus arrived and suddenly there were people all over. Also, the bus had one bike on the rack when it showed up.
My main point is that the bus was full.
While riding, I came to the realization of something I have known but never examined closely. If it wasn't for being able to ride my bike, I probably wouldn't be riding the bus. I like having the mobility to at least get out at lunch and manage a couple of errands. It's much less convenient without the bike.
Now that I have written it down and re-read it, it doesn't seem quite as profound as when I was being introspective and thinking of it. Part of my ride involves what I will write in this Blog. Is the Blog taking over?
