While taking a walk with my daughters down a trail by my home I noticed a big blue metal box that said Dasani on it. I thought it was strange that they would have a box of water in the middle of the trail so we walked to it to take a closer walk and noticed that it is a bike service box where people can pick up a bike to borrow. I think it would be fun to try that service before winter sets in, it has been forever since I have ridden a bike though. I have biked around two little islands before which was so much fun, one was in British Columbia and the other was in Scotland.
I told JJ that we try out this bike service and he said he wanted his own bike so he could bike to school and save money on gas. I have two cousins from Scotland going to school here and they bought bikes online for a great deal. You can even get beach cruiser bikes online really cheap from cruiserstyle.com. The owner of that online company started his business just so he could get a cheap beach cruiser for himself and the cheapest way for him to do that was to buy a whole bunch of bikes at once! So he sold the rest on eBay, did well and now has his own site.

It is a 10 min drive, about 3.5 miles.

Has he tried this yet? Or is it already cold?

No he hasn’t. I keep telling him to buy a bus pass because they are $145 for the whole year and he would probably keep warmer that way because the parking lot he parks in is pretty far from the building he needs to go to while a bus stop would be closer.

WOW. $145 a year is really good. That’s a lil over $12 a month.

Yep! That would save a lot of money on gas!
