You know, there's one real low tech, quick and relatively easy to learn means of travel, which is a far lower investment and in many places far more viable (not crouded streets, or where roads arn't gridlocked and sometimes even then). I live 45 mins walk from Uni (30 mins to the main bit, but we CVG students are on the far side of a LARGE campus). Bus is �1.65 for a return, and they're becoming badly unreliable for various reasons. Yup, I'm getting some skates. I might LOOK stupid, but I bet I'll be able to make Uni in under 20 mins.
