Although this is my second year working downtown and advocating alternative transportation, I must admit the bike racks on the front of the buses still worry me. This fear of the racks coupled with my unwillingness to pay the $1.50 fare has kept me from the buses for far too long. Biking to work has always been a great way to start my day and since I start work at odd hours, the traffic's not too bad. Coming home is much less exciting...trying to combat rush hour traffic uphill the entire way is not my favorite way to end my day. So today I faced my fears and placed my bike on the rack. Despite my apprehension, it did not fall off and get run over and although the entire bus got to see me awkwardly trying to fit my bike in the rack, the bus driver was very helpful and the bus pass made getting on go nice and smoothly. While my fears may not be completely overcome, I'm sure that with practice I'll become a bike rack pro.
