- Hmmm -- I hope you post the great alternatives for College for the
- rest of us. I've traversed College many times over the years at
- various times of the day, and for many trips there are no good
- alternatives to College (agreed that for some there are, and I
- take them when they exist). Riding with lots of cars is a pain,
- and _most_ bikers will take the better alternatives if they really
- are better.
-
- What gets me is that I *still* see lots of ("too damn many") cars
- on College getting in the way of others of us such as in buses
- and on bikes. Maybe we can just shut down some of the freeway
- off-ramps and keep some of the cars there ( :) :) :) ).
-
- Actually, rush-hour, when the cars are going very slowly, is in
- many ways an easier time to bike on College than other times.
- Must be a lesson there somewhere!
