View Full Version : Transportation
So do you guys walk, bicycle, use the bus or a car?
If the last, do you have one car or many?
And whats the longest distance you'll walk rather than take a car/bike/bus/other?
cosmictraveler 09-18-07, 10:57 AM Seeing that my legs aren't what they used to be I must take a car or taxi. Bus services to where I have to go aren't available. A bicycle isn't very fast and I get wet when it rains and I get hit by cars that don't give a shit about bikes!
I got a carbon fiber bike, babe....and I sure race on it all over town at speeds close to Mach 3....*overfetched*...

That is so those cars don't kill you.:D
spuriousmonkey 09-18-07, 11:00 AM longest daily distance I would take the bicycle is whatever I can reach in 50 min.
Currently taking the bus because my bicycle is broken. The distance i was taking by bicycle was 45 min. The bus does it in 35 min.
Orleander 09-18-07, 11:02 AM I drive my own car to work and the grocery store. On weekends we use my husbands truck. He's too big to fit into my tiny car comfortably.
I take the bus to work. Mostly I walk back, if I'm carrying a lot of papers or books, I take the bus. Walking distance 35 minutes, but I've walked an hour to work.
shichimenshyo 09-18-07, 11:24 AM I drive my car to work because I have to go far too early to take the bus, but on the weekends if its less than 2 miles i'll walk it (i live in downtown area so its always less then two miles)
Nikelodeon 09-18-07, 11:25 AM I take the bus to work, 20 mins. Dont have a car 'cos I dont need one.
spuriousmonkey 09-18-07, 11:30 AM I take the bus to work, 20 mins. Dont have a car 'cos I dont need one.
and you are too young to drive.
MacGyver1968 09-18-07, 12:14 PM I spend 3-4 hours on a city bus everyday to get to and from work. 3 buses in the morning, 3 at night. It sucks big hairy gorilla balls. I don't have a car right now either, Nic.

Me too.
I also don't have a car, although my wife does for her work commute. We don't use it much otherwise. I take a bus to work and bike or walk most other places.
anyone else race like wild on their bikes, on regular?
I walk to work and don't have a car because I live at the capital and can get everywhere by public transport if need.
I like walking, but I like running more. I run to places whenever I can.
It's faster and keeps me fit.
The longest distance I've walked is ~150km.
I like walking, work is an hour's drive or 2-1/2 hours on the bus...
[Edit]
One car.
Walking. car distance decision making depends on weather/ urgency/ destination I probably wouldn't walk five miles to an interview, but I'd walk five to go book shopping (influenced by the fact that on the walk back I can get one of my purchases read :))
My work is a 5 minute walk from home. :D

:eek:....non-stop? hiking?
No, not non stop, it's a 5 day hike through forests and swamps.

Man...I only run if chased! :)

well than that doesnt count.
Of course it does, read SAM's question again, now more carefully.

Quoting from Sam
"And whats the longest distance you'll walk rather than take a car/bike/bus/other?"
distance=x=unknown
....
time=y=any time
....
well than I guess you are right. But I once spent a month in a village without any transportation...and every day I walked more than 5 miles... so that's more than 150 miles....without transportation in a month...beat ya...:o
It's not from point A to point B.
It's not from point A to point B.
:cool: well...from the start of the month I came through the front door...whereas at the end of the month I left from the back door...so that's point A and B...and in between I walked more than 150 miles all round for a month....:p
vslayer 09-19-07, 12:55 AM my current job doesnt come with a house so i have to drive to work(about 30km each way). when im at work however i get around on a motorbike 80% of the time.
there arent many places i can walk to. the nearest pub it about a 1 hour walk, and the nearest shop is 2 hours. come to think of it i dont actually go too many other places... work-pub-shop-home
.....the nearest pub......pub-shop-home
did you know...alcohol shortens life span?
vslayer 09-19-07, 02:20 AM so do lion attacks. your point?
so do lion attacks. your point?
pubs are bad for you. Enjoy fresh milk, juice, do kayaking...jogging...biking...instead.
Five days before laying inside a tight coffin...what memories will you remember in a flashback? the visits to the pub...imagine what life would have been otherwise, make it happen.
Don't teach others how to enjoy their lives.

Nikelodeon 09-19-07, 04:29 AM anyone else race like wild on their bikes, on regular?
On the roads? No. There are some pretty good tracks in the forest near where I live, where I do. I love downhill racing!
Orleander 09-19-07, 06:43 AM we don't have public transportation in our town. I suppose I could ride a bike the 8 miles to work, but then I'd be arriving all stinking sweaty at work.
Do all of you who ride a bike to work, have showers there?

well I got YMCA (brand new...made in 2005)...so I take a shower there
If it wasnt for naked men...who purposely show off their goods in dressing room...YMCA would be a perfect place otherwise.

I drive A LOT! At least 1,000 miles a week. But everyday I drive to school and park about 1-1.5 mile away from campus to walk. I do this for 2 reasons:
1) Exercise
2) It's free. Parking is expensive downtown.
lucifers angel 09-19-07, 10:30 AM i catch the bus to school with my youngest son, and i catch the bus with him back, but all other times i walk to the shops, and i walk back, i try not to use the car if i can help it.
Orleander 09-19-07, 04:32 PM am I the only one with more than one vehicle??
I'm usually walking or riding a bike if I have enough money to go hang out with people and actually have fun. Other than that, sometimes I run down to this giant park in the city next to where I live, and I'm only ever in a car when I can find someone to give me a ride.
lucifers angel 09-19-07, 04:51 PM am I the only one with more than one vehicle??
we got 2 cars and two motorbikes
basically women have more than one car...thus emit more carbon dioxide gas which pollutes atmosphere and increase global warming
am I the only one with more than one vehicle??
I have 2 trucks, but I only drive one. I am trying to sell my older one.
James R 09-19-07, 07:27 PM Regarding the poll: favorite and most frequent are not necessarily going to refer to the same thing.
The Devil Inside 09-19-07, 07:41 PM i walk everywhere.
i own two bicycles, and refuse to use them.
when you walk, you can see your surroundings much better.....
enjoy life and it's little moments while you can. being in a hurry is such a waste.
inzomnia 09-20-07, 08:34 AM I like biking a lot. Since I have a bicycle, I rarely use shopping trolley (previously I just
walk to nearest supermarkt with it) or public transport (train/bus) although I can use
them for free if I bring my student ID. I dun have car.
Since I live in California, I have to drive my car everywhere because everything is spread out so far away. If I lived in a big east coast city, I would just use the metro system and/or bicycle without ever having to spend money on gas.
