So we drove a potential bike route today (the shortest one) to see if it was doable, and fortunately, it is; most of it is through (non-skanky, low traffic) residential streets, and the one annoying bit (a narrow lane that cuts underneath a bridge), I can always walk the bike through. So we're both feeling better about me being able to bike back and forth to school.

However, Wednesday, I'm taking the bus (even though I feel silly doing so for a mile and a half) because even I'm not up to trying to bike anywhere in 97 degree heat.
