Not really. I got the bike half price, $300. I got it because it's a good bike, but also because it has front and rear shock absorbers. I got a busted tail bone that never healed right, and so my butt needs extra cushioning.

My wife complains I ride it too hard. I've had three flats, a new wheel, there's a tear in my seat, the paint and decals are all tore to hell (from putting the bike in various trunks), and my left pedal winch needs replacing. I've only had the bike for a year.

The greatest thing about this bike are the finger levers for switching gears. Click-click, and I'm in a new gear. I be upshiftin' and downshiftin' like a mofo. It's a sweet ride.

Ft. Lauderdale's a great bike town too.

That's either a Ford Escape (22city/25hwy 2.3L or 20city/25hwy 3.0L) or a Ford Escape Hybrid (36city/31hwy 4x2 or 33city/29hwy 4x4).

I wish my '92 Explorer got mileage like that.

No.

Mass transit offered here is atrocious; if I lived in a city where it was actually a feasible alternative, I would. (I enjoyed Austin's, for example.)

You could get a Prius instead. When I can afford a new car, that's what I want. Consumer Reports reports that it has the highest customer sastisfaction of any vehical, with 92% of owners planning to get another.

Too bad it's FUGLY. If/when I get a hybrid, it won't be one of those ugly ****ers.

The Prius, heck yeah. It gets the best mileage of any car. You can even follow it with the onboard computer panel. I was getting 70mpg at times. That only happens when you're qt the speed sweet spot of 55mph. At regular highway speeds, it begins dropping to around 45mpg.

I think the new Prius is actually kinda cool looking. Very futuristic. Inside it's like a dream. Now take the Scion B. That is one ugleeeee car.

SUVs should require special permits, to only be used by people who actually need them.

And we should prevent people from buying houses which are deemed to large/spacious/frivolous for their needs.

And we should restrict the number of cell phones a person/household can purchase, due to the millions of discarded units which are filling our landfills.

And the number of computers and TVs.

In fact, everyone should be happy with a biodegradeable box the government will give them every 5-10 months. That is all the shelter, food, recreation and transportation they should need.

Thats cool, I'm overly familiar with all of those (except the campus buses). Actually, I only rarely took the green line... I was more of a red/orange liner. (I grew up in Dorchester... where exactly is your home town?).

I also remember taking the commuter rail with my parents once a year to visit Rockport up on Cape Ann. And occassionally down to Providence, RI.

Ahh.... I would miss New England if my mother didn't live there.

So is Ottawa actually, except bike theft is rampant. I brought up my $300 bike from my parent's house and it only lasted a couple weeks. In fact, everyone I know with a bike up here has had it either stolen or trashed beyond use. Its a shame really. Its also bizarre because Ottawa is such a safe city... just not for bikes I guess.

Dauphin:

I'm sorry, but that bus is ridiculous looking.

He Jimmy, I didnt know you lived in Ottawa.
Its funny to open a thread and see pictures of buses you see everyday (and even take sometimes).
I rarely take the OC transpo actually, but very often the STO buses, as I'm on the Quebec side... (I go to U of O though).

Outaouais represent.

Yeah, I take OC Transpo daily... sometimes even 5 minutes down the road. I have a monthly pass so I may as well.

I actually rarely take STO though. Usually when I'm going to Hull I'll just get the #8 which goes right to the Portage.
