I was so enthusiastic about bicycling, until I realized that the 1980-something powder blue Schwinn World would be like lugging a tank back and forth across the Detroit streets. The bus and bike combination took me 40 minutes to get to my teaching job in Southwest Detroit in the morning. But pedaling back, or pedaling and taking the bus back was a ninety minute ordeal. Then there was the news of the DOT bus driver getting jumped by a rider, perhaps frustrated by the severe cuts in bus routes.
So here is my next project that I hope to stick to for more than 20 minutes. No coffee. My boyfriend just poured a cup of coffee. I can smell it………
I’ll let you know how it goes.
