[SentraSE-R]

I worked for 34 years, and only drove a single occupant automobile 2 years total.

My first year, I motorcycled @ 75 mpg, 5 miles each way, year-round.

The next 5 years, I motorcycled when temperatures were >10ºF, and carpooled w/3 riders during the cool weather, 32 miles each way.

The next 6 years, I bicycled 6.5 miles each way in the summer, and took the bus in the winter.

The next 3 years, I motorcycled 17 miles each way down to 10ºF, and rode the bus when it got cold.

For one year, I carpooled 17 miles each way with a neighbor.

For 7 years, I had a 40 mile commute. I rode a ferry and BART for a year, rode vanpools for 5 years, and carpooled for one year. When I rode the vanpools, I bicycled 6.5 miles each way to get to them.

For 3 years, I carpooled about 35 miles each way.

For 2 years, I worked in a secure facility in Georgia, and drove my SOV 3 miles to work. I couldn't bicycle or walk because of the heat, and because the site just wasn't set up to allow bicycles to enter (fast highways, major boulevards leading to the site).

For six years, I rode buses and BART to two sites about 32 and 35 miles away.

You wimps making excuses are just rationalizing your weakness
