Compared to the rest of my flatmates, I (Cassie) am a bit slack in the environmentally friendly transport department. Most of my flatmates bike everywhere - with the exception of Shanti who walks because he is a bit of a hazard on a bicycle. Gabby also uses her car occasionally, mostly when transporting many people to go op-shopping or when doing our bulk-shopping.
I have been car-pooling to school (CPIT) with a classmate, usually 3 times per week. I bus other places and I usually bike to work. My ambition is to bike more in the coming semester - this ambition is being helped along by Riaan (b/f) who is putting together a comfortable, second-hand bike. Yay, I've requested that it be pink - but that may not happen.
I do feel a bit nervous on a bike, especially on some of the busier roads, so I plan to get thoroughly equipped with lights and glowing neon. I've already done some 'trial' biking to places that have scard me in the past - down bealey ave! - and was pleasantly surprised that I survived. Will let you know how I progress :) ------------- Cassie :)
