Car. When I don't have access to it I take a combination of bus and train.

what sort of car do you drive?  and where do you park?

2002 Chrysler Sebring, and I just park on the street somewhere near my apartment.

no meters to worry about?  in my neck of the woods 1) you'd never get a spot and 2) if you did the cost would be prohibitive.

It's still a residential area so the meters don't start for another 6 or 7 blocks north. Not that finding a spot isn't often difficult, especially during snow emergencies. There's less residences 3-4 blocks north so if I can't find any near me I have to go up there.

I drive just about everywhere I go.  I live 12 miles from work which is about a 20-25 minute drive depending on traffic.  Leaving for work at 11:00 am and coming home at 9:00 pm cuts down on the rush hour traffic.

Not like you really have any other options where you live....right?

We do have a good bus system in the Oklahoma City Metro, but I choose not to use it, instead opting for the added freedom in my schedule without having to go when the bus comes.

In fairness fat people can't walk around a lot, Franzl, even if there are 'other options'.  I have a very fat Thai friend who can't walk more than a few yards, so he drives everywhere in a nice air-conditioned Honda.

One time we traveled together to Lao, and there he did have to rent a motorbike so that he wouldn't have to walk at all.  It was a bit funny to see him on a bike, but it worked.

When I condescend to go to the office (and today is one of those days sadly), I commute with the gardeners and pool men. Smiley



It's a quite scenic drive however, with no traffic jams. Smiley

Bike.  If the weather is too bad, I either tough it out or take the bus.  It's about 35 minutes by foot, but I'll do that periodically.

Lately by car, but about 8 months per year I bicycle unless it's raining or I have to carry something big with me.  I voted for bike.

How to people commute by bicycle? At work, one needs to be clean and tidy, not smelling like bleu cheese.

Which one is home and which the office, Torie?  Is that Orang County?

Yes!  My question as well!  I can't figure out how anyone could walk very far or peddle a bike at all to work without stinking, unless they live in a pleasant climate like Northern Europe.  Here even riding a motorbike I do smell a bit earthier than I'd like during hot season.

Huh
We're not trying to win the Tour de France; urban utility cycling isn't a particularly intense athletic activity.

LOL.  Seriously, dude.

I guess if I lived in a warm, moist climate, like obebo and memphis do, then I'd probably bring a change of clothing in my back pack.  Even here there are some days when I arrive and I have to unzip, untuck, and wipe a little moisture from my sack and torso before settling comfortably in.

Christ buddy, if you're not taking a full shower with soap you're not really alleviating the problem - which is that the human ape stinks if it sweats.

Yeah...I sweat about as much from bicycling as I do from moderate walking...pretty much not at all.

I did seriously consider getting a bike when I moved out of Bangor, but the road out of the village I live in is a bit on the nasty side so thought better of it.

Perhaps you both live (comparatively?) healthy lifestyles in other respects as well.

^I'd presume a bike is rough also when in rains all the time (Bangor and UK in general)

I work from home a lot, but I walk to the train>>subway when I go into meetings and such.

I know a dude at Cornell Dining who had his license taken away due to DUI(s) and he bikes 6 miles back and forth to work every day, including the winter.  in f'ing Ithaca.

Nothing screams "adequately neutral-smelling for an office job in Memphis" like "lives in Ithaca, has a DUI conviction, and knows Boss Tweed".

I take the bus (public transit). I have a universal transit pass with my uni, and the bus routes are great from my house.
