I kind of scratched my head when the bike locker rates seemed to double when I had to renew this year. Of course, the savings are "mythical" save 5$ parking (and receive health benefits) but the money "saved" tends to go more bike swag. I enjoy the 1.5 mile ride to the station, I tend to skip if there is snow/ice or if it is raining heavy.
Metro seems to be unable to have working escalators/elevators; which is an annoyance. I still prefer Metro than bumper-to-bumper traffic. On Thu, May 28, 2009 at 02:38:20AM -0400, Eric S.
