I think Public Transit buses all over North America have bike racks, with space for two bikes at a time. So, depending on the weather, wind (headwind or tailwind?), terrain (uphill or downhill?), and bus timings (thanks, google maps for android), I can either speed up my travel, or extend it beyond the capability of purely bike travel. Currently, public transit agencies in my area do not charge an extra fare for the bike, but if demand gets too much, and they start charging for bikes, I think I'll just buy an extra monthly pass, and use it for the bike, or the wife, depending on who I take along for that particular outing :-).Sujeevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11402691376506983995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7813749.post-81613855307336176162012-08-18T19:23:05.246+05:302012-08-18T19:23:05.246+05:30as a heavy user of Vancouver's excellent bicyc...as a heavy user of Vancouver's excellent bicycle infrastructure, I have to say that this is an excellent thing.<br />cycling is better not only for the environment - but for the self. <br /><br />it is sad to see India - with her excellent bike friendly climate (except in the monsoon)- not doing enough to promote cycling. one way is to have a high, annual 'congestion tax' on cars. The other way is to charge actual market rates for car parking. Ghost Writerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04356705865349053471noreply@blogger.com
