I am grateful that my Surly and I managed our first multi-modal commute of 2008. And she didn't fall out of the bus's bike rack!

And I'm also VERY grateful that the evening bus driver managed to avoid t-boning the truck who ran the red light in front of us... cuz my bike would've been splattered!

I liked that the driver joked about my bike and the truck over the PA, and that the other bus riders laughed. (and that I had enough composure to joke back... despite my pounding heart and dry mouth and sweaty palms!)
