I would totally ride a bike as part of my commute except for one small problem: I have to cross Lake Washington eastbound to go to work and westbound to come home and at odd hours. Transit service drops to hourly after 8:30pm and the bus only carries three bikes at a time. So far, I've noticed that 1/3rd of the time, in nice weather, I'd be fine and could load my bike on the bus; another 1/3rd, I'd be at the 10:30pm trip and it would be full so I'm waiting for the 11:30pm trip that isn't full; and the last 1/3rd, the 11:30pm trip is full so I'm stuck either leaving my bike or not getting home. (I see these because I still take Transit to work by using two buses each way. I'd rather ride my bike for one of them...) Maybe this just means that I should work on getting in shape so I can just ride a route that takes me across the lake...
