The practice rack at the Interchange is another great little element helping take the stress out of using the bus-bike combo to get around!

Great article. I will share it in my page The Commuting Book. Wish I had more of this to tell people how wonderful bike+bike is.

Not being much of a fan of Memorial Ave on a bike , we use the bus , even though it is a 25 minute walk to the 29 route. Airports and flying are stifling when it comes to atmospheres and body movement restrictions. Nothing like some exercise and fresh air to start the journey. Simply requires quality wheels on the luggage. If in a hurry to get home, or late at night , then the cost of a one way taxi still beats the cost and hassle of airport parking. As Roy says , planning is everything.

Good thinking. Just needed a little planning. Cannot understand drop in bus patronage.

Honestly? Buses are like railways… they go where they want to go, and only at the times scheduled.
I’d rather just ride my bike.

Thanks LennyBoy. I have biked to the airport before to catch overnight or same day return flights, and have such a trip planned in January, but hadn’t considered this option, which is very appealing. I’m only a 10 minute cycle from the bus exchange and, to be honest, the thought of cycling to the airport at present with all the road works for the over-bridge is a bit overwhelming. Thanks for giving me an excellent solution!!
