I hate public transport with a passion

[summerdays]

I tend to look out the windows, I'm nosey!

I like trains, because there's so many different types of people, and I enjoy seeing different ways of one's lifem whether it's dress sense, the way they talk with their friends e.t.c I just enjoy seeing different people

Too drunk to cycle would do it.

I understand the words, but the concept is tricky. It's not possible to be that drunk is it?

Aren't trikes tricky enough to ride sober, never mind drunk

As to pubic transport. the less said the better.

You may want to edit the first word of your post #10 then.

I thought that I hated getting the bus but during an enforced period of bus commuting after injuring myeself I found it was pretty good.
I had to get up earlier but at least I only had to worry about one set of clothes, nice walk to the bus stop, five mins wait (reliability seems to have improved), show pass (nice development, reduces monthly cost by some 40%), sit down and read for 40 mins or listen to podcasts.
There were some schoolkids on the bus usually but they weren't especially noisy.
For my commute cycling is way quicker though- even including changing. Traffic isn't even that heavy on the way in, but the bus takes a less than direct route.

Ive been using buses and trains more recently after my off, and when they are your only option you develop more appreciation for them.

Unfortunately the bus going threw where I live is like the jezza kyle show live. Caused by the previous stops. Some times it can be quite colourful but tend to stay away from them use the bike.

I've only flipped my trike twice, both times stone cold sober. I might observe that doing it on the London to Brighton charity ride is especially ill-advised as you end up laying upside-down in the road with a trike on top of you in front of an audience of about five thousand people ...
