Just curious, what school do you work at? I'm a College Park alum.

Your subject line were my exact thoughts riding in this morning (first ride to work since I crashed last month, woot!). It was cool enough for me to put my arm warmers on and I just enjoyed the lovely weather.

As for why people don't consider other methods of transportation, I'm with you on the laziness thing. But there's physical laziness, and there's convenience laziness. Walking/biking/taking mass transit mean you may have to get up a little earlier, adhere to a schedule, etc, and people don't like that. Then there are probably people like me that wanted to do things other than drive, but don't get around to it. It took me forever to start taking the train to work, but as soon as I did I thought "What the heck took me so long? This is great!" Habits are hard to break.
