What's your bike?

When I went to decision day (for transfers) a girl boasted that she survived without a bike. I think she might have used the unitrans or carpooled (harder to do as a freshmen though). I think it would depend on how far your classes are apart. It is probably walkable, but it might be annoying to walk from one side of the campus to the other, than back, and then home in the heat. Luckily, the heat subsides mid-September. I really don’t like the idea of riding a bike. I always think I am going to fall on the street or something. I am currently in Davis, living on campus even as I type this and I can assure you that walking instead of biking is a bit of a hassle. I have a car which gets me to places fast, but then there is nowhere to park. Many public spaces have time limits (to discourage students from using their parking?) and some come out and check to make sure that cars belong to their patrons (Black Bear Diner on Second and B). Campus parking (if one wanted to drive from one garage to another for classroom proximity) is crazy. You have to be ‘eligible’ to buy a permit. Since you are in dorm housing it probably is doable. But once you live off campus it may be a bit of a hassle without a bike.
