To all the naysayers...

Shuttles (leaving vehicles at each end of the ride) and "hiking" up
hills -- this is clearly MUni-speak. So, give him a break (if not a
motor). I mean...

How many of us actually MUni -up- steep hills?

I walk. And I'll be walking up the hills until I'm over the hill.

I actually like pumping the cranks up hills...if they're not so steep
that I can't maintain forward momentum. Thats when a little "assist"
would really come in handy! But it's a great feeling of satisfaction
when I do make it to the top!

Uni is just a cycle I'm going through.

Corbin generally leads the pack here. Gerblefranklin follows. And I
try to, just to keep up with those two. I need to MUni with some
lazier people. Let me know when you're in the Bay Area, Dave!
