Got yummy carrot cake from Nancy this morning. She always has goodies in hand. Last time it was skin care stuff from Gumps.Originally Posted by Bike Goddess
- she got treats from me and I got bike treats from her including the infamous RED BULL!
CindySue- you should tell everyone what you do for a living! It's way cool!
Ahhhh, what I do for a living? Thanks Nancy - I like to think I'm contributing something positive.........
Well, what I "do" is multi-faceted, actually:
I am a student at UC Berkeley - 1) Masters in Civil (Transportation) Engineering, 2) Masters in City and Regional Planning. I work for a research firm: Innovative Mobility Research. Our projects include "smart parking" (those signs that tell you how many parking spaces are available, and the ability to reserve a spot through your cellphone/online), Low-speed modes to Transit (encouraging non-car modes of transportation like walking, biking, segway), pedestrian safety issues, "intelligent transportation systems" (like Fasttrak, 511.org, the signs on I-80 that tell you how long it will take you to get to the bridge, .....) I also work weekends at Juvenile Hall as a youth counselor.
So school full time and anywhere from 20-40 hrs per week of work leaves Cindy a very tired girl - but I do love to ride..............

good on you Trek!.....isn't it funny sometimes how just 1 sentence can change a mind?? must've been fate that your neighbour came out Just at that time to get her paper! and how fun is that to catch a bunch of women to ride the rest of the way in with! Hope your ride home is just as inspiring!! Originally Posted by Trek420

Irony
You know. It's ironic. I normally bike to work, every day. Very rarely do I have the car. But hubby has his new (used) 240SX and we both couldn't sleep well last night, so I was exhausted this morning. I just didn't want to deal with the traffic and rain, or with California drivers + rain.
So... on Bike to Work Day... in Bike to Work Week...
I drove a car
