Specific Commuting Route

[missjulied]

Question: Buses and bikes. I've heard that your bike can get pretty badly damaged when you put it on a bus, mainly from other people shoving their bikes against yours really roughly. I had one person tell me that every time she put her bike on a bus, she had to get it (the bike, not the bus ) repaired afterward. Aside from my Xtracycle, which probably isn't going to work with buses ever, all I have is my ti Seven, and I'm really reluctant to expose that to any kind of even potential damage. Is that a valid concern with buses? I'm looking at a 20-mile trip each way and that's long enough I'd want to be able to do partial bike/bus commutes, but I really don't want to damage my Seven.

My husband commutes from Seattle to Kirkland, and puts his bike on the bus across 520 twice a day with no damage that I've heard of. His is, however, a pretty beefy frame. But ti is tough, right?

Ti is tough, but I have mostly Ultegra components that I don't really want to have to replace/constantly tweak... However, I may have to give it a try, because it would be super handy to be able to bus back and forth if necessary.
